It Does Not Matter… Poem by Dr John Celes

It does not matter what kind of work you do,
But put your mind and heart and soul into it;
It does not matter which road you take in life,
But walk or run with steadfastness, warily.

It does not matter how well you eat and drink,
But let it be healthy, affordable and be content;
It does not matter how much you get paid,
But be happy you have the health to enjoy it.

It does not matter how much you pray,
But let it be fervent and from your heart;
It does not matter what offerings you make to God,
But let them be your best and most worthy.

It does not matter where you live and work,
But be righteous, disciplined and diligent;
It does not matter who your life-partner is,
But love and trust your spouse and be truthful.

It does not matter how high you climb,
But do not risk unduly your life, priceless;
It does not matter what feats you accomplish,
But keep your soul pure with all your ability!
It does not matter how long you live
But live only as per God's will!
