At The End of the Day – A Poem by Patrick Carpen<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\"At<\/a>At the end of the day,
\nWhat matters\u00a0is not
\nhow much money
\nI have in the bank;
\nbut how many treasures
\nI have stored
\nin heaven…<\/p>\n

At the end of the day,
\nWhat matters most
\nis not
\nhow many children
\nof my own
\nI have…<\/p>\n

But how many children
\nI have given love and care to…
\nwhether or not
\nthey were my own…<\/p>\n

At the end of day…
\nWhat matters most
\nis not how many disappointments
\nI faced
\nBut how many people
\nI helped
\nThrough their hardships<\/p>\n

At the end of the day…
\nWhat matters
\nIs not how many relationships I’ve had
\nBut the fact
\nThat I’ve never caused a heartbreak
\nor left anyone crying.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day…
\nWhat matters
\nIs not how many medals
\nI’ve won…
\nBut the fact
\nThat I’ve always played fair.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day
\nWhat matters
\nIs not how successful or unsuccessful
\nI’ve been
\nBut the fact
\nthat I’ve never hurt another human being.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day
\nWhat matters
\nIs not how many palaces
\nI’ve built for myself
\nbut how many shelters
\nI’ve built
\nFor people who need it.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day.
\nWhat matters
\nIs not how rich I am
\nIn the eyes of men
\nBut how precious
\nI am
\nIn the sight
\nOf God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
