Different Values. Poem by Sandra Kavanagh Josefsson

Different values.

We all have different values.
One person enjoys a walk in the woods.
It brings them peace and solitude.
They value nature's glory.
They have not got loads in the bank,
but they are not sorry.

Then we have those who value money.
They value power too.
A happy day for them is to be in their counting room
and dream of their future
and everything they can have till
their day in the tomb.

We have those who value time spent with friends and family.
Those who enjoy the small things of life.
Those who help others and those who take and take until there is nothing left to survive.

The value of life to some people
means nothing.
They can take it away with the snap of ones fingers.
They have cold, cold hearts
where no real love lingers.

Then we have those who are like sunshine all day long.
They value everyone they meet.
They work for the best of everyone.
They are the heroes of our streets.
