Priorities

If I made a list of priorities
I'd be thankful for my career,
And include home and family
Adding lots of love and cheer.

I'd write down financial freedom
Making wise investment wealth;
I'd add mental creativity
And excellent physical health.

I wouldn't forget spiritual comfort
For those days needing extra power
'Cause sometimes life gets lonely
And we live from hour to hour.

Balanced social mingling
Would be written by and by,
'Cause timely tragedy awaits
Flowers, pigs, and butterflies...

Carefully I'd read my priorities
After my list was done -
But most importantly, of them all
You'd be number one.
