Riches

Riches should be measured
Reverenced and treasured
Recognize there's more wealth
Redeemed in priceless health
Rubies, facet cut, and
Rings of gold are fine... but
Recall life's true values

Hi Jenna, Good quote by Zig Ziglar he was one of my favorite motivational speakers. You made good use of the letter R. Wealth can be found in the things that money can't buy. Best wishes in the contest. Have a great day. PS, I wrote a Monoku on the same thing.:-) Alexis
