Best Things
All the best things in life are free.
Yes, money does make your life easier
But not much happier, you see?
So no sense in becoming greedier.
Saving up for the future's good.
Stashing some from every paycheck aside
As long as there's enough for food.
Those are cruel rules you chose to abide.
But you are surely missing out
On simplicity of power of now.
Meeting friends and partying out
Is finally something you can endow.
Dad used to tell me: with your friends
If you can, always try to pay upfront.
As no more struggle to meet ends,
Not worth it to pull supersaver stunt.
Not all the time but do travel,
Invest in yourself to live here and now.
Favorite shoes, clothes would ravel
Out but you will slowly breathe out the "Wow!"
