Best Poems Written by Danielle Taylor

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
