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…
