If we can't love.....
By brook_rivers
23 May 2006
If a human can’t love, what can we do?
There is nothing on this earth more important than love,
Money, material objects ….
We have to abide by the rules and indulge in them
 

But at the end of the day
When all is said and done
Does it matter how many pairs of shoes you have
What type of car you’ve got
How big your house is
 

What matters is the amount of friends you’ve made
The lives you have touched
The experiences you have had together
The family you cherish
The love you have shared

Very true and very well put. Short and to the point. You've proved that old saying that less is more. 
Reminds me of a line from a Beatles song 
 
In the end the love you take is equal to the love you make. 
I may come back to this one

I very much liked this poem because it is true. It reflects what is important, so good job.

This made me shudder, it's so true. There is only love, and nothing is more important. You've captured this beautifully. The line 'Does it matter how many pairs of shoes you have' sums up everything about what's wrong with life and people today. They don't know how to love and hide behind false emotions and material gains. 
 
It's just lovely. Well done. 
 
best wishes
