What is my need of money,

fine clothes.

Would I be happy should I possess those?

What wonder to wear

diamonds and pearls.

To live on a yacht and travel the world.

I suppose I’d be considered rich.

But how wealthy would I be?

Would I be truly happy?

Would my soul be flying free?

Richness really lies within

and first you have to find

a measurement or asset

of a very different kind.

Count your friends instead of money.

Appreciate your health.

Without loving, giving nature.

What’s Wealth?
