In a hundred years time it won't matter
if the house you've lived in wasn't done,
the garden and outside wasn't finished,
or the chores not even begun.

In a hundred years time it won't matter
if the paint still sat in the tin,
that was meant for the wall in the study.
would it really be such a sin?

In a hundred years time it won't matter
if that shiny new car was not yours?
Or that fancy new watch you'd admired
still sat in the case at the stores?

In a hundred years time it won't matter
if you were never on TV,
You'd never reached Hollywood stardom
or even been in a movie.

At sunset a graveyard is quiet
As you quietly move through the leaves
You'll see life summed up on each headstone.
What kind of treasures are these?

Store up your treasures in heaven
where thieves and moths cannot find.
Love God, love your neighbor as yourself,
be patient, gentle, and kind.

Live today and enjoy it.
Grasp every moment you can.
For life is the eternal race-
No winners, it's just that you ran.
