Paula Goldsmith Poet Rubaiyat

Money

Quote By Poet "Money like honey is sweet to taste but money can sting you."

If money was the way
we would be happy everyday
then why are so many sad
they need more work and less play.


Work is good for you
makes you happy and not blue
brings in the money
now you can eat beef stew.


Why are the rich so unhappy
with their many riches they should be happy
somethings money can not buy
they sure dress very snappy.


They say money equals wealth
one can not buy health
money is just paper and coins
no mansion living in the commonwealth.

Valsa George July 23, 2023 at 7:27 PM Money cannot buy the joy or happiness we long for. That's why rich people are not always happy. Through your poem you have brought forth a great truth. Congratulations dear Paula on your win.

Judy Ball July 21, 2023 at 1:30 PM Well said Paula. I've always noticed that the more we have the more we want in most things, not just money. And have you ever noticed how paranoid some of these movie stars are with all their money? They need security most of us never even heard of. Good write. God Bless, JB Paula Goldsmith July 22, 2023 at 1:10 PM Thanks for your note. Glad you like my "Money" write. Yes, the more one gets, the more one wants. The question is, how much stuff do we really need??? Have a blessed weekend..................
