If I had a million....
I would eradicate all the world's diseases.
I would fight child abuse.
I would make sure everyone was fed
I would purchase everyone's membership on Allpoetry.
But I don't have a million. If I did
I would pay off my debt.
I would have plenty of groceries.
I would make a difference.
I would try to save as best as I can.
I can't do any of these things. I don't have a million.
But I don't mind being poor.

Neither do I!!! Although if I were rich, I'd give ever spare penny to finding a cure for type 1 juvenile diabetes.
-
Ah, the richness of words far outweigh the fragility of the economic dollar. Pride is born of prudence in a mind of pure values! Great Job Pat!

Glad you liked it Karl. I liked your observation. THANKS!!

I don't mind being poor either. I like the things you would do if you had a million. Sweet poem!
-
Some nice thoughts, people like you deserve a million more than those greedy b______ do.

Pat....you have outdone yourself on this one my friend!
"I would purchase everyone's membership on Allpoetry....."
Oh how SWEET! Ok, ok....I know the poverty, abuse fighting and disease curing was all great stuff too....but as A GOLD member, a pre-purchased membership sure would be awesome! lol.
Great job Pat and I have got to say....You have a heart of gold....worth far more than a mere million.

Pat
Sdaly I fear that a million would only get eaten up by the greedy. Man is not all that bebevolent. But your heart is gold and I like that
-
Exactly. I don't know what else to say. Just, "exactly"

Thanks for your response. Glad you agree with me.

I would not want a million. I would wish to be as I am, poor and appriciative of all that I have...though...I wonder how long it takes one to spend a million?
You have yet again caused my mind to think. It is something that the grey matter should do more often. Lol
I am touched by your words concerning my poem A Lady. It means a lot to me.
Thank you,
Rev. Alimae

Thanks Pam. Sorry I am late with my comments to you.As I said I don't mind and I am glad to be poor.
-
-
Aw but Pat
You do make a difference; as I read of the many friends you have and continue to make.
-
Reading this, I wish you had a million too.
I think you do make a difference, from what I read.
The last line says a lot.

BEAUTIFULLY EXPRESSED!!!
If we only had!
We though can reach out with our hearts and do so much. Lovely poem!
-
if i had a million , i would spend most of it on wine women and song ,, the rest i would waste,, nice priorities pat xx
-
I love people with a good heart and you really must have one, your wishes are almost like a child's wishes because children want everything to be good, I'm not putting you down, I think thats great to be able to retain that quality instead of becoming a nasty person.
-
Well at least.
Well at least you are in a majority because being poor in money is not always a bad thing. We find out that sometimes just friendship is the best million we could ever have. -
Nice Bubba ~
By far, the best poem I have seen you pen ~
It is so nice to see you pen something besides rhyming poetry ~
....is Bubba growing up in the world of the written word :)
This poem shows the depth of your soul, the size of your heart and the length of your river, flowing grace ~
You have to see it, before you can have it Bubba.....you already know this......and it's true ~
Fantastic piece of Art and truth penned for us today....my Brother has touched me today,
Brother Bear ~
