GEMS AND PEARLS

Ther's more to life than cash and cars
Spending big with credit cards.

Mobile phones, the latest fashions,
Keeping up with societies fashions.

Joy abounds...if you look around
Peoples faces, sights...and sounds!

Breathe the air, STARE at the clouds
Find a quiet spot to SCREEEAAAMM aloud!

Wrap your arms around a tree
Smell the flowers, for you are free.

Stay up late to watch the moon
In all her grace at midnights noon.

Take some bread, a glass of wine
Some tangy cheese, a taste devine.

We strive for happiness in material things,
Yet stress and anger are all they bring.

We look inside ourselves
And think we'll be happy with gems and pearls.

We came to earth with nothing but love
And when we leave to soar above
We'll take not with us gems and pearls....
But, hopefully, wisdom and love to the netherworld....
