it's not as heavy as i remember
What Matters

It should not matter who they are
Or what it is they do
Treat each person just the same
As you want treated too

It matters not the car they drive
Or the color of their skin
Don't count how many things they have
Or wonder where they live

Never let worth alone
Decide the way they're viewed
Don't judge the cover of their book
Make a chapter just for you

Each new person that you meet
Has a story all their own
Give them just a chance to shine
And watch each person grow

It should not matter who they are
Or what it is they do
Treat each person just the same
As you want treated too


Carl Joseph Roberts
My ruby looks on stones to see the light.
While amber stars are flashing in her mien,
She forges facets with her eyes and mines
A rocky grave.  To bear as such, the sun
Un-sung, she could caul parhelion to dust
And still doom to shadow those fireworks
She alone ignites.  Here then lies a truth;
My ruby looks on stones to see the light.
