If size were what life was about
then we would not matter a bit
Not to the thoughts that man can dream
nor all the sins he could commit
Our mind is what gives us value
sensitive beyond its design
Compassion and love will endure
in our children both yours and mine
This little blue planet of life
the only home that we know of
Holds us in it's loving embrace
as here was born every love
No matter what life can collect
nor how long life grants you in time
Why would it matter to the earth
or to heights of mountains you climb
Humanity won't remember
the man who commanded his friends
Only he who gives hope and love
so that life on earth never ends

Can a thought or feeling be larger than a universe? Love is the only trait that is worth remembering because it is meant to be given away selflessly. The recipient is as happy to receive it as you were to give it!
