L Milton Hankins Poet Rhyme

Inner Satisfaction

The finer things in life are not material
Cannot be measured by silver and gold,
But have an intrinsic, everlasting value
Like contentment and happiness, I'm told.
One cannot buy with money these things
While possessions can be comforting,
Like fine cars, elaborate furs, and rings
Only love and joy inner satisfaction brings.

Caren Krutsinger January 28, 2022 at 11:07 AM Love and joy is the only satisfaction we can ever attain if you ask me. This is true. L Milton Hankins January 28, 2022 at 11:35 AM Thanks!

Gershon Wolf January 26, 2022 at 6:28 PM I would like to add one to 'Love and Joy,' if I may -- ' true accomplishment.' (Doesn't fit in the poem phonetically, but can't beat it for internal satisfaction.) L Milton Hankins January 26, 2022 at 7:04 PM You certainly may, gw, and I wholeheartedly agree. There is no feeling quite like true accomplishment, which, all too often, goes unrewarded!
