Nevertheless

It dawned on me:

this is it as a life I have known.

I couldn’t care any less about how others viewed me.

What mattered was whom I knew,

how I made them feel,

and what I have done for them.

In the end, I remembered the forgiving hand.

I remembered the laughters I shared,

and I remembered the gratefulness I felt towards those who have put a faith in me.
