Richest Man in the World

every person has their goals
success of the heart is mine
money is just a means to an end  
gains nothing more than material things
   
sure, it all sounds very nice
that is something
but it’s not everything 
not knowledge, or humanity  
definitely not love
   
though my bones may ache
working in pain for the next pay day
bills racking up high
sometimes overwhelmingly so  
I try to remember I have a partner
one who helps me as much as I help her
 
it’s her calming hug  
blanketing me with comfort
assuring me that I’ll always be safe   
my angel with a one way ticket to Eden
   
I have a great fortune
the kind of fortune not easily attained
many go a whole life without even a taste  
and she came in just the right moment  
keeping me kind in a harsh world 
 
simple living is fine by me
I have the best jewel in all the galaxy
and she loves me just the same 
because of this I feel like the richest man
