I chase not gold nor silver as this is our folly Rather I choose not to be a lamb lead to the slaughter In this material world Instead I have been given the insight and privelage to see what matters most Thoughtfullness , compassion, understanding, gentleness,patience,forgiveness,kindness, For these are the things that can be given freely to all whom I come into contact It is these things by which I wish to be remembered they are gifts that are free to all who wish to embrace them It is my hope that others may share in the beauty of them Sewing them like seeds into the next generation Making this world a better place Wealth has no comparison Always be aware of the shadow of time As time waits for no one , regardless of status
