Do You Really Want Money? Poem by Cynthia Buhain-baello

Do you really want money?
Or would you rather have these:
Good health in your family
And restful sleep with peace.

A simple home with love
Meals shared with lots of laughter
Real wealth from God above
Sweet memories to remember.

By your side a true friend,
And a dear loved one to hold,
Answers to prayers sent,
Warm hugs when you are cold.

Songs of birds to wake you
A gentle breeze that blows
Thanks for little things you do
And praise for the good you show.

Enough to pay your bills
No worries for tomorrow
Freedom from hurts and ills
And comfort for all your sorrow.

Simple things can be had
You will not need a lot of money
Too much of it can make one sad
Discontented and so lonely.
