Used To
Virginia Salter

I used to do important things
. . . for their pure joy.
I used to do important things
. . . to avoid the drudgery of life.
I used to do important things. . .


Now...
...I hope the things I do
may, one day, have become...
important.

I used to do important things
at least I thought they were
I wonder now if any brings
a value we'd aver

Virginia,

The important thing I do is to raise my son to be the best man he can become.  If I succeed there, then I've done well.  Take care.

Everything most people do is very important in it's own way.
Nice job.  I enjoyed this one very much.

Thank you all for taking time to read and comment on this soul-searching piece that I wrote last year.
