TRUE MEASURE

TRUE MEASURE

Distance isn't measured
By the vast space that separates us
But how close we can be
Not in the flesh but in spirits
Memories are not the many slandered things
But how we reminisce the good old times
Happiness isn't measured by the joys we can have
But with the sorrows we can tolerate
Sadness isn't measured by the tears that we've cried
But with the laughter we can hear
Sorrows are not just the terrible things that we can experience
But how we stand tall when we encounter them
Tears are not only for the sadness
But for the peace that fills our hearts
Laughter isn't measure of the great things we can achieve
But how we make other people happy
Joy is the measure of contentment
Hand in hand with the love that fills our very soul..
