One Wish

One wish Happily he chose his one wish To opt for life of wealth Becoming famously rich Ruler of a kingly place, Missing what matters in life He changed his course In search of true love, But it was too late by then For a pauper now lives in that palace Happy with the choice he made. January 12, 2018 HM: Brian's Choice 1 Contest by Brian Strand

Those who see money above everything will end up in misery. When his priority becomes love over money, he is rich even when being pauper. Great message, Vijay !

Hi Vijay, such wonderful content in this excellent write. One wish, choosing money over love, he is the poorest of men. A wonderful message. A poetic gem that shines with such a strong, honest message and imagery. Have a wonderful Monday. Your friend always....Mike.

Now if you can combine great wealth with love and generosity I think that would be preferable. I enjoyed your poem Vijay.
