The Only Thing

Some words of wisdom from me.

Life only lasts so long
And after it
It won't matter what college you went to
Or what career you had
Or how "successful" you were.
It won't even matter how strong you were
Or how skilled your hands
Or how smart your brain.
The only thing you take with you to Heaven
Is the love that you gave away.

Author's Note

Don't live your life focusing on things that don't matter. I know I put it very bluntly here, but seriously, what is it that others will remember you for?

[PaperHearts]

Great write! It was definitely a blunt and direct write, but in a way, that seemed to work effectively in creating the tone of your piece. I liked the simplicity of your poem, and the truth and wisdom behind your words. This was a really thought-provoking poem. Nice work,

Very emotional piece. It conveys the message that so many people try to preach. It doesn't have a very poetic feel to it with rhythm and rhyme. But life shouldn't be a rhythm. Life isn't as easy as a rhyme. Love is so vital to a healthy prosperous existence.
