Priceless Things
From a beggar to a banker;
life is not about what you've got.
When God assesses your value,
being wealthy won't mean a lot.
The love within your heart is all
God needs to judge you in the end.
And there's no better résumé
than a lifetime shared as a friend.
You may not be rich or famous;
but some things in life are still free.
Hope never comes with a price tag;
and there's no cost for air or sea.
There are so many priceless things;
like freedom or the setting sun.
And nothing's more precious than love;
or the joy of just having fun.
You cannot buy a warm spring breeze;
or pay a nightingale to sing.
Pity's freely given away,
and kindness doesn't cost anything.
