What "actually" matters?

 

What "actually" matters?

Kyrzayda Rodriguez, famous instagram blogger,  

Before she breath her last in city hospital,

Conveyed a message which was extremely critical.

"I commenced journey as a blogger and traveled around the globe,

Now stuck within 4 walls of hospital, counting my breath in patient's robe.

The most expensive car sits in my garage today,

However, wheelchair is my only resort,

And everyday seems a mayday"

"Once I had seven hair dressers at my duty,

Today, without hair, I wonder,

Does hair actually define my beauty ?

"Cancer", has taught me lessons the hardest way,

Taking help of shoulders to be lifted,

When once I travelled in private jets everyday."

"I had privilege to enjoy world's best cuisines,

Proud of my blogs, my pictures all over fashion magazines,

Today, tablets keep me alive, and is my only source of fuel,

Body pain and agony is making my life cruel."

"Working day and night to flood bank account with cash,

How will that treasure help, after my body turns into ash?

When I used to live with luxuries in most expensive hotels,

Now, ready to start a new journey renouncing all chattels"

"My life has been too short, 4 decades weren't enough,

I urge you to understand what matters the most, 

Otherwise life will keep getting tough.

Today, when I have nothing which I earn or own,

Only my near and dear ones and their hugs from purest seeds of love sown."

"Deep in my heart, I am grateful to God for blessing me with an amazing past,

Remember - "Slow down, Stay grounded", 

Do not spend much time to forecast,

Cherish your present, as time may come with only few moments to last."
