Realizing What Matters

What matters is the positive,
a look into what's relative...

Relativity can't deny the truth-
Don't trade an eye,
and don't trade a tooth.

What matters is a simple word,
something worth while...
worth being overheard.

Build a bridge, and don't destroy-a-one.
Picking up what's left isn't fun.

Enjoy your aspirations, and dreams-
Enjoy your youth before you're falling apart...
At the seams.

Live in the moment, but not for just today
This one moment starts at your birth,
and ends when you've out lived your stay.
