What Matters Most

To see what matters most in Life
I weighed the things inside my heart
What many treasures may impart
Importance there,  to shed some light.
I took out most trivialities
Got rid of mundane, trifling matters
Found there the root of iniquities
Was the "I, the me, and mine" affairs.
By choice, purged out the hindrances
To everything that makes me whole,
Set free from all encumbrances
At last found Peace there for my soul.
