No Matter Poem by Randy McClave

No matter what your resume might say,
No matter your belief or to what GOD you pray.

No matter the languages that you might speak,
No matter what religion, or to what belief you believe or seek.

No matter your occupation or the work that you do,
No matter if you walked a mile, or just ten feet in your shoe.

No matter if you are slow or what you have learned,
No matter your schooling, or the degrees that you have earned.

No matter the potholes that's in your path,
No matter when you fall, if you take not a shower, but a bath.

No matter the places that you lived, or someday will live,
No matter the gifts, or the donations that you will give.

No matter what life lessons that you might teach,
No matter the words of inspiration that you will use or preach.

No matter the clothes that you might own and wear,
No matter the length, or the color of your hair.

No matter your social status whether you are rich or poor,
No matter if you speak quietly, or if you declare with a roar.

All that truly matters is your actions and just one deed,
As that will speak louder, and to that men will heed.
