 The Choice of Love By: Amy M. Kennedy If given the choice, between love and money, I'd pick love every time For love is free, carries no pricetag, you can't buy it...no matter if you saved every dime Love is what beats in every mans heart, its what makes us feel free Family and friends, that's what its about, at least thats how it should be But greed takes over the mind, and pretty soon were in too deep Once you've chosen money, fame, and fortune over love and friends, its too late to weep Love of a family, a sibling, your best friend, whoever that special someone may be Tell them today that you love them, make them really see Don't let the unimportant things in life like money, tempt you into another route For it is these very things, that spread the seed of doubt We were brought to this earth with nothing in our hand Just made out of the very Earth, of clay and dirt and sand We leave this earth with nothing of materialitic value However the ones who have love in thier hearts...go to the kingdom of power < !signature--> ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ [This message has been edited by Aimster (edited 02-25-2000).] |

This is excellent, Amy!! It reminds me of a poem that I wrote about someone who did choose money over family...perhaps I will post it tomorrow night or Sunday (I'm going away overnight and tomorrow). This one really spoke to me! Denise |

Amy~ Nicely said. Much truth here. I'll take love over money any day of the week. ~*MArge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
