On these three things the world depends:
life purpose, effort and one’s friends.
The first provides velocity:
forward motion, destiny.
The second supplements one’s sails
when wind and tide desist or fail.
The third reminds us to respect
those in the world whose paths connect
with our own journey, for a while,
and share our sorrows and our smiles.
Without these things, the world is flat;
and our adventure, nothing that
is worth much. Neither time nor health
is substitute for this true wealth.
