Material Gains

An Inspirational and Uplifting Poem EVERY DAY from Simon J. Halliday!

Material Gains

Who is happy?  Raise your hand
How much was paid?  A hundred grand?
The things we have might make us smile
And then they'll rust in just a while

Of course it's good to build and grow
Our plans are set, we reap and sow
Yet when ensnared in want or greed
We sacrifice the things we need

So search beyond, not just on earth
This place where we were given birth
For destiny won't conclude down here
Eternal truths will beat your fear

Submit to truth, allow it in
A quiet voice amidst the din
Materials may be gained and lost
Remember your values, never the cost
