Measured

Tomorrow I am going to a funeral. As is only proper tonight I am reflecting on this lovely man and sending my family love and peace.

There are around 300 people expected to attend, a large gathering by any measure. He was very involved in the community and apparently there will be a CFA guard of honour for him.

It does make me wonder in the end what will we be measured by?

Measured

We are
going the distance
taking stock
maximising our profits
chasing the dollar
calculating assets
taking what is ours

We are
holding back the years
counting down the days
pursuing beauty
cutting a fine figure
getting a makeover
developing a taste for the good life

Are we
selling out?
selling ourselves short?
selling our soul?

The years roll by in
but a moment

In the end
what are we meaured by?
