WITHOUT YOU THERE IS NO REASON FOR ME

TRANSIENT MONEY ETERNAL WEALTH

I have no money to be stolen

for my wealth resides in my heart.

True wealth does not have a dollar sign in front of it.

Money accumulates but wealth slowly grows.

One can be taken or spent and is diminished,

the other is given away and returns tenfold interst.

COME THE NEW DAYS BREEZE

 

I found myself in a thoughtless place

and within that space of mind

I took a look around to see what I could find.

Course there was memory

clear and distinct and things I'd done

which quite frankly still stink.

Yet as the morning breeze 

came upon me

for a new day again,

all of it left its gloom

to make room

for the new to rise within.

AS LONG AS THERE IS YOU THERE IS ME

My personal treasury is full to overflowing

and with everything contained in there

I find myself the ability to get going

to travel free, knowing you honestly care.

I am not without fault or troubles

but I am also full of wealth beyond infinite measures

not born of financial bubbles

and e'er trying to delete tax on my worldly treasures.

Once I found you and your care

I can leave my golden love, e’ry bit and part

with you while retaining every ounce

of goodness found of my own treasury heart.

I have no need to be like those silly bears

with that nose of theirs always stuck

in the jar of someone else’s honey

to be full beyond gobs and gobs of bee money.

All I want is what I need.

Most of us know the

meaning of greed but also ken

for it there is no need.

In our hearts we find our health

That’s where honesty is birthed

the grand abundance of our true wealth

our poor folk shared values and worth.
