Just a few thoughts on what is important.
I make a list
What's important to me?
Defining the beauty of things I can't see.
They're not easy to come by,
Like grabbing at mist.
Love, passion and humour
Won't fit in a fist.

A genuine smile
Is worth more than gold.
Peace can't be bottled,
Hope can't be sold.
You can't bribe the sunshine,
You can't force a friend.
What value is money?
Its time that we spend.

What would you give me
For lessons I've learned?
I came round the long way,
Experience earned.
How much would it cost me
To take on your pain?
What worth the intangible
Pleasures we've gained?
