Money Cannot Buy Love Poem by Paul Sebastian

Wealth is never enough
Wealthy can buy possessions
But can never buy love
Wealth love is love's delusion

Eat the best-there-is food
Travel choice holidays abroad
Stay in places give "feeling-good"
Or getaway to an island resort

Shop at exclusive boutiques
Adorn some pearly necklaces
Dine at restaurants for romantics
Visit some museums and palaces

After having seen, said and done
Still raking within some emptiness
Chasing something, in a short run
Yet, heart's parched, soul's in desert-dryness

In quiet desperation, soul searches to rest
Found not in wealth, power or fame
If found in life's simplicity, count as blessed
If true love finds you, happiness is your claim

Where's true love, there's God
Offered at the altar, becomes sacred
Shared intimately, heaven's abode
Love's meaningful, love's ultimate
