'I cannot buy myself nice things,'
I cannot buy myself nice things,
For I make no money.
Yet I am not poor.
The shoes I wear are worn
From walking, a ticket I cannot buy.
Yet I am not poor.
My hair is rugged, my face unclean,
I cannot afford a gents luxuries.
Yet I am not poor.
I can however walk with you,
In all the places those with money do.
For he who loves and is loved
Is not poor but very rich indeed.
For I make no money.
Yet I am not poor.
The shoes I wear are worn
From walking, a ticket I cannot buy.
Yet I am not poor.
My hair is rugged, my face unclean,
I cannot afford a gents luxuries.
Yet I am not poor.
I can however walk with you,
In all the places those with money do.
For he who loves and is loved
Is not poor but very rich indeed.

Money is a only a medium of exchange, but wealth is something else... Well done...
