Minding What Matters



Along the way it gets so existential
So you notice though it always was
Gets pretty real here along toward the end
When lots of things I thought were not essential
Got essential after all because
Falling what mattered was calling a friend

When it all shattered wondering what
It mattered understanding it did not
Shattered a friend is what mattered then

Late in the season listening to reason
More than before though late in the day
Never mind forever now find how to
Get what gets to get through a change of season
Letting it rearrange you get who
You are what you got so far anyway

Minding what matters late in the game
Finding a friend to remember your name
If you are lucky like I have been
