To Understand Why

Silver and gold
   jewels bright and bold
      never did move me

   To understand why
   we live and we die 
      ~ I wish I could see

Good Morning Gershon - I like titles thus this entry caught my eye. Yes, material items matter not but life and death always will. Wonderful execution. Thank you for sharing. Have a wonderful day with poetry and poetrysoup.

Wisdom instead of diamonds and rubies.

So, you know that one about the guy who chose wisdom instead the gold... lol. Couldn't be me. I didn't wind up with either...

I'm not much of a jewelry person (I never even got my ears pierced!) so I don't see the attraction, I guess

You know, you and me both, Michelle. I've never had my ears pierced either! lol... Of course, my firstborn daughter had them pierced at age six, as I recall (which was early back in 1984). Seriously, all that glitters ain't gold, as they say. :) gw
