As we grow older we realize <br />These basic truths before our eyes: <br />The emptiness of wealth, <br />The dignity of work, <br />The value of good health, <br />The need to make our mark, <br />The gift of family and friends, <br />The ugliness of strife, <br />The permanence of change, <br />The brevity of life, <br />The comfort of true love, <br />The truth of God above. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />..................................................................... <br />July 27,2008 <br />Philippines<br /><br />Cynthia BuhainBaello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/realities-4/
