Wondrous Money

Wondrous Money You have showered me with riches Rubies, diamonds and gold These jewels are most beautiful But the love I crave you withhold Rubies and diamonds are cold And they can show me no emotion They don’t hold me when I cry Or show me any devotion You have paid for fancy clothes Just for me to wear I wear them just to please you But you are seldom there I am sure you won’t understand The thing I am about to do Because you think your money Can buy anything for you I have to say good bye to you I will leave your diamonds and gold What I would like from you Cannot be bought nor can it be sold What I want is a simple thing Given freely and without regret It is true and honest love my dear Something you clearly seem to forget I am sure you will find another Money does wondrous things But if there is no love at all It is only sorrow that it will bring Connie Moore 1/26/14
