The Things That Matter Most Poem by Chris Schleier, Jr.

As God of all endows a Host;

The power of the Holy Ghost

will teach you truth and testify

of the things that matter most.

Search and seek: Watch and pray.

Let gratitude fulfill your day.

For, doing these shall make it so;

The things that matter most to know!

Endeavor with the human mind

eternal truth and worth to find.

In every effort, do your best.

Exalt your work above the rest!

Train your temper soft, and well.

Always hesitate to yell.

Be a kind and loving friend:

Be remembered in the end!

Stand for what you know is right:

Shine your never-failing light!

Never seek to harm or hate;

Rather, seek the narrow gate!

Live a chaste and virt'ous life.

Let your modesty be rife!

Endow the earth with virtues lost.

Restoring good has priceless cost!

Remember...Go, and testify

of the things that matter most!
