What do you look for in a good school?
The length of tennis court and width of the swimming pool
Or good teachers who impart wisdom
What do you look for in a Sunday Mass?
The majesty of the cathedral pillars and tempo of the choir’s music
Or a humble priest’s heartfelt sermon
What do you look for in a good movie?
The budget that upheld the larger than life sets
Or a storyteller who’s art resonates
What do you look for in a good book?
The ranking on the bestsellers chart
Or an author looking to share fresh perspectives
What is it about home and work and community
If not for the people we share it with.
