Rich

by Simon Hayes   Dec 10, 2005


Being rich isn't
All the money in the world
Being rich isn't
All the diamonds and the pearls

Being rich isn't
Having all the items you desire
Being rich isn't
Dressing in expensive attire

Being rich to me
Is having you to love
Being rich to me
Is loving god high above

Being rich is
Having our family, love and life
Being rich is
Happiness with my daughter and wife

    Wow. I don't even know what to say about this. It's amazing... and it's so true. The richest man alive is the one who has found love, happiness, close friends and close family. Great job, you really hit straight to the heart with this poem.

    I love this poem. It is written very well.. I tried to write one similar a few days ago but yours in much better. You got across what you were trying to say much better. Thats my feelings as well. Rich is not about money or possessions but valuing with your heart what you have. I am very rich with my two girls.. now I need a sweet, passionate and loving man. Know any spares??? lol

    Such an impressive write with an excellent end which is so cute. This is my new fave poemy by you, because of its deeper meaning.You perfectly reduced the theme to its most important aspects which I loved. The structure is new to me, but it was definitely a great plus for the intensity of emotions in that poem.

    Keep it up
    Lots of love
    Yours Sabine
