Poem: Priorities
What matters to you?
Fame and fortune?
Clicks and views?
An enduring legacy?
A life well lived.
What lies close to your heart?
Honeyed words?
The adoring looks
of peers and enemies?
Spite is a dish best served cold.
What drives you to live another day?
The smile of my children.
The anger at the world
A desire to
make a difference.
What says your tombstone?
Here lies a woman
mother, daughter, writer, friend
who tried her best
despite the odds.
