Another day… another dollar; that was the story of my life.

I was making many more dollars but paid the price in stress and strife.

I am not sure on what date I finally understood

That money can be both bad and good.

Today as I look back upon my years

I remember the happiness but also the tears.

Self centered and always thinking of only me

I did not realize how rich I could be.

There are no dollar signs or high wages or commissions

For now I know true love and sharing should be all our missions.

God will slap us in the face sometimes to get our attention.

He will also hold us in strong arms preparing us for our ascension.

His love is not always gentle for that can not be.

Tough love and great forgiveness is what saves me.

When you feel yourself applauding yourself for deeds done well

Keep in mind that honorable intentions can pave a road to Hell.

So serve the Lord with your heart, soul and mind.

Focus on his love if it is eternal love you wish to find.
