The Real Value

I saw another man Lay his head On the world's softest bed The best money can buy From what I heard this man had wealth Lived in the biggest house Had chefs and maids for days He had it all I say Not children though They were a waste of time And no wife either He was lonely, but he was fine As the night ended And no one showed We took his lifeless body out To let his spirit go As we lowered his body I ask you What do you value more Money or time Will you go alone Or surrounded by family With wealth Or a happy life

Good morning Danielle Taylor, wow, such a nice peom. You know, people tend to think that money solves all things, but they kept on forgetting, that though money can buy a bed, it won't guarantee you a nice sleep, only happiness and rest of mind can do that. And I think family love is more valuable than gold, the feeling of knowing that there is someone out there who loves me more than the imaginable, who sees me as a blood, would definitely give me an unquantifiable peace of mind. Well, please have a pleasant day.
