What matters?

 

When the war is lost
Do the battles really matter?
When the music has stopped
Do the musicians matter?

When the relationship is dead
Does love matter?
When death comes a calling
Does your legacy matter?

What matters? What does not?
What is success and what is failure?
What makes our lives sad and empty?
What makes our lives joyful and satisfying?

In the grand scheme of things
What seems insignificant and trivial
Could be vital
What seems important and crucial
Could just be a dud

Revel in the journey rather than the outcome
Enjoy in the now rather than worrying about the future
It is all that matters
