This poem was inspired by my good friend, Andy.
We had a good discussion on the following topic:
When we’re young, we were trying to acquire things
We really didn’t need it but wanted it because the other guy had it,
Or wanted things that were prettier, faster, like a fancy car and such,
Now get old, thinking, did I really need that?
If I had known that… earlier in life.
Going through life trying to acquire material things,
A bigger house than needed,
Instead of recognizing personal accomplishments,
For both Andy and I, family, a loving wife & kids, has been the biggest joy in life’s run,
Those are the most important things we’ve done.
Thanks Andy for being my good friend.
