True Wealth
While I greedily struggled to satisfy
the insatiable desires of my kind,
I foolishly plundered the joy of my soul,
and ravaged the peace of my mind.
I vainly strived for happiness,
until, happily, I discovered,
the greatest of wealth I can gain for myself
is the joy I receive from giving to others.
