Some Things That Money Cannot Buy

some things that money can’t buy

some things that money can’t buy;
yesterday
birdsong
ambition
imagination

waves crashing over rocks
love 
lust
experience

a warm wind
Canada geese flying overhead
faith
a volcano erupting
a dream
the understanding between two people
the sense, taste

that perfect guitar note
a secret taken to the grave
well-being
family
today
respect

drive
a thought
what might be
that silence at 4am
trust
the sense, smell

memories
desire
the ability to sing
soul
an idea
peace
the sense, touch

determination
a calm sea
what has already happened
the sense, sight

time
friendship
spirit
the attraction between two
resurrection
clarity of thought

tomorrow
health
energy
the sense, hearing

the future
belief
life itself
someone to listen, to really listen
some things money can’t buy.

You are right, money can't bring all these important things in life. A good poem. Well done.
