Affluence

There is a way
To make time pay


Look deep and see
Just what will be


Joy comes from heart
That blooms and starts


Health holds the key
To mystery


Wealth starts within
Unheard, unseen


If you must ask
Ask for fond tasks


Live fond goodwill
That fills and heals


Affluence is you
Right here on cue


See grand plenty
That funds surely


Seek work that tells
Just how you dwell


Be present now
Here with endow


To feel more rich
Make love your niche


All things of earth
Come from rebirth


Look to sure grace
To greet each face


Discern the truth
Where beauty proofs


All else is fake
That makes and takes


To be set free
Face unknown sea


To be a man
Love all you can
