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
