Money Buys

Does everything we buy, everything we have, what we pay for, Is that ever really 
valued?
A person can buy a house, a car
a suit or two.
But can a person buy, pay for
class?
Can a person buy security?
Physical yes, but Mental and Emotional ?
No, I don't think so.
Looking at our reflection in the mirror
What can you get with a penny?
What does any amount of money ever really purchase?

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
