Things That Count
Not what we have, but what wo use; Not what we see, but what we choose— These aro tho things that mar or bless The sum of human happiness. Tho thing near by, not things afar; Not what wo seem, but what wo are,— Those a<ro tho things that make or break, That give the heart its joy or ache.
Not what seems fair, but what is true; Not what wo dream, but good we do,— These are the things that shino like
gems, Like stars in fortune’s diadems. Not as we tako, but as we give; Not as wo pray, but as we live, — These aro the things that make for peace, Both now and after time shall cease. —Tho Chaka.
