The Universal Point

The universal point of life
Is not what we can buy
The majesty of innocence
Is not a crowning lie

The urgency of happiness
Reflects a hungry heart
But joy is more than one caress
Can save a shaky start

To care for riches, casually
Commands a tighter grip
But what you do to find yourself
Is worthy of a ship.
