Embracing Life's True Values

In the vastness of life, where moments fly fast,
It's the best memories that seem to last.
As children, we dream with no thoughts of end,
Believing our loved ones will always attend.

We grow in our thirties, our minds fully formed,
Learning the truths that keep us warm.
Money is needed, a tool to survive,
But what happens when you've lived, and your dreams are alive?

When wealth has been gathered, and goals are complete,
What remains precious, what makes life sweet?
It's the love of our children, family, and friends,
The ones who stand by us, through thick and thin bends.

People must wake up, stay aware of their hearts,
Spend time with loved ones, before they depart.
For once they are gone, no riches suffice,
To replace their presence, their laughter, their spice.

Simple joys like talking, or pillow fights at night,
Long walks in the park, where hearts take flight.
Gather together, share love and cheer,
For you never know when the end is near.

When they pass, and your heart feels the ache,
Wondering if in heaven or rebirth they take,
It's a new soul to love, from the ones you adore,
So make every moment count, cherish even more.

Love is the answer, the force most strong,
No science can measure, no equation belong.
We're here to help, to make others smile,
To fill hearts with joy, making life worthwhile.

So hold on to love, it's why we're alive,
In giving and sharing, our spirits will thrive.
