What Will Matter?

I wrote this when I was feeling very philosophical and Ecclesiastes-ish.

What will be left in the end
What will we hold on to
Thinking it will matter
What will we put ourselves through
For our ambitions, goals, and desires
Whatt will we do to make sure
We get what we want
Yet forget what we need
What will our lives say about us
When we can no longer defend them
What good work or great deed
Will make us considered heroic
Does it matter
Will it matter
When we are no longer here
To nominate our names for history
Who is our past was truly great
Was it the rulers of the times
Adolf Hitler and Fidel Castro missed it
They may go down in history
But they will nver be considered good, great men
Mother Teresa and Ghandi were closer
Serving others through peace and kindness
Yet the only man to achieve true greatness
Was Jesus Christ
Who made the biggest sacrifice of all
So waht must we do to find this greatness
The answer lies with the only man who made it
Follow Jesus all the days of your life
And He will make you a guiding light
