Life's Reach

The world is a chaotic place
That often does not make sense.
We live our lives day to day
With little recompense.
 Unless you count the little things
That tally in the end.
A life lived to its fullest
Is worth more than you can spend.

The family that surrounds you
Your friends count in that too.
The mark you leave behind
Represents all that once was you.
One life touches so many
It affects those near and far.
 May your life's reach
Extend beyond the farthest distant star.
