Everyone Matters

 

I remember that day we said goodbye,

The day I asked you if there were any regrets,

You said, you wished you had realised sooner

That everyone matters,

The thing is, I didn’t know what you meant then -

But I do now.

Who has any idea how much oxygen a person brings to your life,

Or how much you bring to theirs?

You have no idea why a person is in this life or yours,

And so what you don’t do, is make judgements,

Treat everyone as though they have the potential to be

Anything or everything,

Love and smile,

You are not God.
