If something makes you happy,
Typically you need to buy it
Not to mention, with money
But if someone makes you happy,
That doesn’t cost you
A penny, nor a check, or a hundred dollar bill…
Nothing
Someone putting that smile on your face
Is priceless:
That someone is ‘something’ worth keeping around
But too often,
we lose opportunity after opportunity
With those kind of priceless people
Because we forget the value in people
And there’s work to put into them
It’s unlike money
Where you pay for something,
And now own it; it’s yours to keep
People, “the good ones” require effort
To maintain in your life
These people are the ones that can slip easily
Through the creases in between your fingers
As fast as the first blink
When your eyes first met
These people are the ones in your life
That you don’t realize their value to you
Until they are no longer beside you
Like the old times
If someone makes you happy,
Put as much work into them
As you put into having the next iPhone
Before anyone else does
Because people are more worthwhile
Than the rectangular touch screen device
You hold in your hands and to your ear
We live in a world
With over seven and one-eighth of a billion
Human beings—
When you find that one person,
Don’t let them drift into
The waves of the ocean
Too far out of your reach
Throw out your anchor and pull them onto shore
They’re a lucky catch
That you’ll never find the same again
Don’t let go of someone
You’ll someday wish that you hadn’t…
