Be careful

9/11/02

where in this world does value lie?
where in this world is peace?
in what in this world can you find happiness?
if you answer of things you know nothing
material things mean nothing
what is in a house?
a rug, a brick, a statue maybe
many things you own but do not need
and a few things that you may need to survive
but many more you dont
yet if it were all to dissapear
and all that you had left
were a few close friends 
and family members
a special pet or two
would you not still have all that was important?
you would still have with you 
the most valuable things you could ever be with
what is in possessions?
nothing! absolutly nothing!
a bit of dirt, a wire or two
easily bought, more easily broken
yet life, friendship
it is not easily made
i know this 
but do you know this
life is amazing
I dont know where it comes from
But its not something we can make
it can not be sold in a store
but it is easy taken away
it is eaily hurt
friendships are hard made
and easly torn apart 
words carefully woven
can build stron friends
words carelessly thrown
can destroy a life
and material possesioons are the worst
ffor when they come around
greed is one thing
that destroys many friends
and yet when it is all said and done
what will you have to say?
at the end of your days 
what do you want to say?
that you had many things?
or you had many friends?
you fixed many things?
or you helped many people?
the choice is up to youu my friend
I hope you realize this.
Just be careful with wht you say and do
words are a weapon 
and also a tool
a two sided sword
watch how you use it
you can use it to mend
and you can use it to destroy
it is your choice how you use it
be careful how you use it
remember the choice is up to you
