Thumbs up Remembering What Matters

Came across this and thought it worth sharing. So far as I know, it is anonymous (if anyone knows otherwise, please correct me).


The Greek That's Written There

It makes little difference the size of your pin
Whether it's large or small,
And if it's plain or brilliant with jewels
Is of no concern at all,

But the vows that you took along with your pin,
Have you worn them constantly?
Quietly, deep in the heart of you
Where no one looks to see?

Have you touched the stars you reached for once
In your own small piece of the sky?
Have you striven for the honorable,
The beautiful and the high?

What difference then the shape of the badge,
Be it diamond or quill or square?
The important thing is: How much do you love
The pin that you chose to wear?


Edited to correct punctuation.
