Real Wealth

You wonder why I do not cry
And why I am not breaking?
These eyes of mine are strangely dry
Right after your departing.

It's not because I do not love you
But I decided it was best,
We clash in all things that you value,
And with money, it was a "no contest".

Yes, I took it quite with dignity,
For I weighed the wealth I have,
So I bravely faced reality
And freed myself from my web.

You wonder if there's any anger,
In my heart there is no room for that.
And know you'll be my friend forever,
I care for you no matter what.

Now you are still so very sad
With all your wealth and tons of money,
I have the things you never had,
Peace of mind and my family.

For God gave me true prosperity,
A family of love and caring,
They give me strength and hope to see
Indeed they are my real blessings.










"Better a little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth with turmoil."

PROVERBS 15:16

When our priorities are right, every blessing makes us rich. The riches of God's love and grace are evident in the lines of this poem, Chynthia. Well done.

Boy you said that right. I once dated a very rich guy who showered me with all things material. Even bought a condo for me. But I had to walk away. You see I too was rich like you while he lived in the poverty of wealth. Bless you, J'nia

Amen my friend......such beautiful words of thanks and praise......Hope all is well with you and your family. I have been out of pocket for a bit while I heal from hip replacement surgery. Sending you peace and much love always.

Both truly wonderful things to possess.

Boy, Cynthia, you've packed a powerful lesson in these lines - well done! It's said that money doesn't buy happiness - truth. But then again, being on the other side of the spectrum isn't easy - even tougher. But my God shall supply all my need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Phillipians 4:19) Don't worry, be happy! :)

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
