On Waking Up

Some fine morning 
You will wake up
Like from a dream
And realise that
All the trappings of your life
   That nice condo
   The fast cars
   The fancy things
Never really mattered
And what you thought was important
   That big job
   That bold business card
   The numbers you had to hit
They were mere details
Necessary perhaps, at some point
But never truly sufficient
And what really mattered was
   How you were loved
   How you loved in return
   The blessings you had
   And how you showed gratitude for those blessings
I pray we wake up soon
I pray for me, and for you.
