What Have You Learnt In Life? Poem by Lyn Paul

What Have You Learnt In Life?

Rating: 4.5


Have you learnt
That money grows on trees
For trees and nature
Are Life
They are the beauty
And the insight of the world

Money will not heal you
When you sit alone
In a room full of money
You will see
Money only pays the bills
It won't nourish your soul
Heal your heart
Nor keep you
From sickness
Or dispute

We learn too late
To stop and breathe
To see
What really matters
