We spend our lives driving through things <br />Only to discover quite late that they are only things <br />And the great value we attach to them <br />Is far less than their actual worth. <br /> <br />Own your: watch, car, closed gate mansion, title <br />Beware their auras and pawn shop values <br />The thing my mother in the wisdom of her greatest years confirmed <br />Still, they are only things. <br /> <br />Climb your mountain of achievement <br />Discover that the climb is greater than the summit <br />Life has the potential for the wise and humble to be a process <br />And this - even a point called death - can not defeat.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/poem-of-molten-title-2/
