Poet’s Showcase: ‘What is Important?’
‘What is Important?’
By Patrick Pritchard
The true meaning
Of this life
Is not in the buildings that we
build
Or the roads we travel
Or the things we acquire
For buildings will
Crumble
And roads soon be forgotten
And things cast aside
The true meaning
of this life
Is how we treat each
other
In these
buildings we
build
On the roads we travel
And with the things we
acquire
— Patrick Pritchard lives in Lawrence.
