Poem: Remember What Really Matters

Staying serene
in a chaotic season
is always a challenge.
Always remember
where you are
at this place
in this moment.

Focus on what must be done
at the present
Don't fret about the past
or obsess about the future.
There are still the same
number of hours
in the day.

House to be cleaned
plates in the sink
presents to be wrapped.
But also meals to be eaten
songs to be sung
breaths to be breathed
bliss to be shared.

Always remember
what life really means
it has to be lived
not just spent
on the practical things
that do not
satisfy the soul.
