What does it all add up too?
the seconds of my life,
count them off in gratitude,
daughter, sister, mother, wife.
No number can ever tally,
the measure of our worth,
the answer is in living well,
each day upon the earth.

I have a feeling you also have rhyming couplets rolling around in your brain most of the day. I like how your title explains the line: No number can ever tally. To me, it’s like your saying there’s no point in doing the math; just enjoy it.

P.S YES, sometimes my brain thinks in rhyme – all the time! See – it’s just me 🙂LikeLike
