It Matters...

It matters.

It all matters.

It matters what you dream about,

and what you think about.

It matters what you did.

And, what you didn’t

It matters that you tried.

That you failed matters.

And, that you perseveared.

It matters what you said,

and what you meant.

And, what you didn’t.

It matters that you struggled,

that you cried.

That you never gave up… that matters!

It matters who you kissed,

and that you danced.

It matters to forgive,

to move on,

to never forget.

It matters to have empathy…

And, it matters, oh how it matters, that you care,

and care deeply.

It matters that you helped.

It matters how you made others feel,

and how you felt.

It matters that you stopped by to say ‘hi’,

and that you stayed and listened.

It matters what you love, like, reject, enjoy, detest..

It matters what you are reaching for

and what you left behind.

It matters that you are sad…

Your smile and laughter matter.

It matters what you are about to do,

and why.

and why not.

It all matters,

But…

It doesn’t all matter the same.

You & I…

We matter.

It matters what we are… who we are.

It matters to want, but not to wish.

It matters to reach…

forward.

in harmony,

Nestor
