The Illusion of Wealth
What purpose is wealth, does it fill your day?
Does it cloud your mind, and lead you astray?
Does it fill your heart, with love and compassion?
Or does it tell you these feelings, are not in fashion?
Do you seek riches and wealth, without a cause?
Perhaps if you do, you might want to pause
If you seek riches, before you have health
You must find your heart, for then you have wealth
Your health is the space, between your mind and heart
It’s a place that inspiration, gives you a start
Should you fill your life, with ideas so strange?
It confuses your heart, so you must rearrange
So clear all this baggage, out of the way
Make space for the magic, so it comes to stay
To take the wrong road, just leads to confusion
So your heart gives directions, for you to use them
If you are caught, by cares and troubles
Make space for you heart, and it will burst these bubbles
Travel your right path, and your cares get lighter
And as you go further, your future gets brighter

the poem has said it all,
for so many of us seek to be rich,
but oh so often we chase it away; time and time again
printed this one out and placed it on my door as a reminder

This poem and the others I have read, are very helpful to anyone that would want to be the best they can be.
Much thanks for such pure inspiration.
