Not what you do..
Not who you know..

What matters in life is not who you’ll be..
Not what you are..
Or what you’ll see..

It matters not the false friendships you find..
Or the people you meet..
Who fill life with lies..

It matters not the past you have spent..
The life you have lived..
The things you regret..

What matters the most is what stays at heart..
Always close by...
There from the start..

What matters the most is those around you..
Who love who you are..
Despite all your truths..

Never more than a call away..
Close by your side..
Forever they’ll stay..

Never more than what you need them to be..
How could one forget..
Their family.

Ohhh this ones just amazing. I love it. It shows the power of a family ties and to forget the things that complicate it because if you forget family you've forgotten it all. Lovely poem. Five stars!
