What Matters (Most)

What Matters…
What Matters Most…

… is Real Laughter
Not Lurid Echoes
Not Just To – Gather
But Staying Close
And Less Clatter-Chatter
Less Lies and Boasts
More Sweet Pitter-Patter
On Calm-Home – Coasts

… And Strong Rafters
And Stronger Posts
Preventive Measures
For Unneeded Dose
And When Bad Guys Scatter
‘Cause Good Guys Accost
… So, Need More Lone Rangers
… Less Alter Egos

And Real Treasure
Not Trinket Woes…
Real Pleasure
Not Powder – Rows
Peace and A Cracker
Than Quarrels and Pot Roast
And To Know Better
… Than To Just Suppose

… Happily Ever-After
Not Lost Co-Host
And When Love Shatters
Hate’s Glass-Frost…
… And A Holy Helper
For Human – Uh-Oh’s !...
That’s What Matters…
… What Matters Most …

Hey, Thanks Guys and Gals... I just happened to check my emails (I've been swamped)... so, I really don't know what's happening with my Poet Pals, at this time... but I haven't forgotten any of your warm encouragements and so very, very kind comments... Again, Thanks, I really do count it as an Honor to be among such wonderful (and I do mean wonderful !) Poets... MoonBee
