The Greatest Wealth

the greatest wealth
is not how much building
you could acquire 

the greatest wealth 
is not how much 
Money you made 

the greatest wealth 
is not how of a celebrity
you are

the greatest wealth 
is not how much expensive
flashy cars you drive

the greatest wealth 
is not how powerful
you are 

the greatest wealth 
is not how best you believe
in your religion

the greatest wealth 
is not how beautiful 
your wife is either is it
how handsome your husband is

the greatest wealth 
is the seed of love
you sow into another
soul to have a life 

the greatest wealth
is the seed of love
the seed of love is sacrifice
