This poems ponders about what is really important in life---gold or charity of heart!
Beautify Your Spirit Beautify your spirit Not with gold and silver But with a charity of heart. Enrich your body not with— A pretty garment But with a veil of happiness. Given to you freely Not from the greatness of your work, Because no measure of your hand Can account for all the grace And happiness you freely enjoy. Understand that no matter Your achievements and glory True happiness is a gift— That‘s given to all --- Not because we are good, But because life is worthless Without a glimmer of happiness. Thus, open your hand, Share your bounty and happiness With your neighbors – Even with your enemies, Just like the soothing wind dancing And singing across land and sea, Brings you hope and happiness Even when you don’t deserve it.

"True happiness is a gift�
That�s given to all ---
Not because we are good,
But because life is worthless
Without a glimmer of happiness."...I love these lines...such truth spoken within them...and the last four lines...they're my favorite. Much wisdom and beauty within this.
