Money Is Not Good For Happiness

Money can't buy happiness
The joy fun times and bliss
We all search for everyday
Can't be bought with someones pay
It's inside your caring heart
And the perfect place to start
Finding a lifetime of memories
You won't forget as you can see
Them every time you think back
To the good times you don't lack
Money can not take the place
Of a child's smiling face
When they're wrapped in a hug so tight
Or read a story every night
Shiny cars and jewelery
Are things some folks really need
But they are just fanciness
One day will lose the glitterness
And sparkle they used to show
But somebody's inner glow
Will remain forever bright
Never losing any sight
That's kept safely locked away
Until it's needed one day
To lift someone back on their feet
Or turn a bad day to sweet
So money means nothing to me
I'd rather be so happy
I am never truly poor
When someone opens a hearts door
Spreading love and so much care
I join in and want to share
