The Finest Clothing, a Loop Poem

Wearing all the finest clothing
Clothing they wear for impressing
Impressing nothing but their egos
Egos always chasing fame.

Fame cannot come just from owning
Owning things is not the answer
Answer first with hearts of caring
Caring for your fellow man.

Man will always see your colors
Colors that shine thru your soul
Soul filled with love and kindness 
Kindness… let that be your goal.

Sweet, true and a fine lesson succinctly delivered. I don't understand the no comments, you did an impressive job and I truly enjoyed your poem. It is worthy of a philosophy, Sunday School and heart / mind lesson ... CayCay

Thanks CayCay, it is one of my favorites also. This was my first try at a Loop format and the words just seemed to fall in place. One does become more philosophical at 73. Guess it comes from lots of living. Lol! Glad you enjoyed it... Betty
