Some of us wake up
And wish life was perfect
Have all the money we want
House bought & paid for
Nice car, kids & someone to love
But thats only for fairy tales...
Some of us have no money
And no one to love
No nice car nothing
But that just makes us
Better people
The poorer we are
The better a person we are
Money comes and goes
And it can't buy happiness
Rich people look down on us
And think they're all it
But in actual fact
They are the ones who lead
An un happy life
Stuck in marriages they hate
Keeping up a pretence
With those who are "friends"
It's not fair how they
Don't even share their money
With the poorer and less fortunate
I want to see life as fair
But I guess that's not going to happen
So I'm happy being poor
Rather than stuck up & unhappy
Everyone should know we are all
Just one of the same ~
Human beings.

So true are your words Karlie
Life greatest riches have nothing to do with wealth,
for you see, rich people might think they own alot of things but in actual fact, its rather those things that own them instead.
You might not be wealthy but you are rich at heart and thats what life should be all about.
Wise you are my friend and its a pleasure to have met you.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom
Ken
