A very small poem written by Margaret Fishback Powers that I crossed paths with recently caught my attention and made me stop and think. Does it hit a nerve on you too?

                         It will not matter
                  what kind of car I drove,
                what kind of house I lived in,
                     how much money I had
                    in my bank account, nor
                 what my clothes looked like.
                       But the world may be
                       a little better because
                        I was important in
                         the life of a child.

Interesting, Karen. I think these are some of things I heard older people saying when I worked in a nursing home. Memories, love, friends, family.... I don't recall them talking about materialistic stuff! Love and Hugs,
Sheila
