I wrote this for my dad and sister... My dad told her, "The most important things in life... Are not things!"

Precious things on my mantel
Precious things collecting dust
Precious things I might polish
Yet someday they may rust

But precious things are things
And a wise man once said
The things that are most precious
Are the things inside your head

The most important things
… Are not things after all
Some things that are precious
… Are often very small

Like small considerations
And random acts of kindness
The times we laughed together
Are things that are so priceless

The memories of my dad
And the love of my mother
These are the kinds of things
That I value like no other

You can take away my watches
You can take away my Lexus
But you cannot take away from me
The things that are most precious
