It Is Not Everything Poem by Francis Duggan

For to be wealthy and famous so many desire
To be looked up to by many and one many admire
But some of the wealthy and famous not happy in their fame
And prefer theirs would not be such a well known name
To so many people they are well known
But they feel they do not have lives of their own
For money and fame there is some price for to pay
You cannot have everything life does not work in this way
Though many of their admirers their praises do sing
Some of them come to realize that money is not everything
On the ladder of success they may have climbed far
But they come to realize they do not know who their true friends are
Though lots of money a better quality of life to you may bring
The fact remains is that it is not everything.
