Missing Out On Beauty

Missing Out On Beauty I cannot help you As much as I want to I just can’t You’re in a world Where beauty doesn’t exist You cannot look at a flower Read a poem Or look at a painting Money is your life The only thing you love More than your heart More than your family More than what you should feel Have you seen your daughter’s drawing The one on the fridge She made it for you But you were too busy to see it Have you heard the poem from the boy next door He put his whole heart into it But you won’t listen Some things are more important They will make you smile Brighten your heart and soul Take the time to look and listen See what the world has to offer The money will still be there But someday your daughter will not draw The poet will no longer write That will be a day part of the world dies And you will not notice
