To Be Poor In The Mind Poem by Francis Duggan

For many life is just a deep worry pit
For success in life or for the lack of it
They worry about money though not poor in a financial way
Though not short of money if you think you are poor you are poor does seem true to say
Not poor but unhappy their kind are not rare
Money cannot buy happiness for the unhappy billionaire
Some people find reason to worry though their worries are small
They worry with nothing to worry about at all
They feel that life on them it is rather tough
When in truth they are people with more than enough
Of money and material things they are not in need
To be poor in the mind is to be poor indeed
Though financially well off that they are poor they do believe
It is true that some people their own selves do deceive.
