Notes About The Poem

We all have the question of what do we want? Do we want to earn heaps of money or do we want to know and create the things we love? Ideally, I guess it's both of these, however which would you sacrifice if you had to compromise your lifestyle? This poem hopes to assist those thoughts.

Do You Choose Money Or Love

To be rich or find true love is
The question of the day.
Is success how much you give or,
How much you take away?

Money can buy you all you want,
A car, a boat, a house.
Can buy a maid to clean it too,
And it can buy a spouse.

Fly abroad, again and again,
See temples and shrines and more.
The sphinx then Big Ben and the French
Battlefields from the war.

But sights can be an empty sport,
Seeing what others make,
With hands, their love, their spirit and,
Flair when they are awake.

Love, it will give you everything,
All that you really need.
When you’re in love then you will know
What it means to succeed.

Love to create and love to give,
Love to value and care.
A wholesome life with all you need
Enough for you to share.

The question of rich or finding love
The question for today.
Of course the answer's always love,
To give all your love away.
