A Thought For Money

Contentment is the ultimate
Of all the happiness money brings.
Yet a penny can buy contentment
And not a vault full of money

Contentment resides in the heart
Happiness resides in money
Man looks not inside for contentment
But outside for money

Money is only a slow number 
One, two…hundred…thousand…million…
That keeps happiness in transit 
And contentment delayed
 
Those who seek contentment
By accumulating numbers of money 
Never have it because 
There is now and ever no ultimate numbers!
