Money is the root of much evil
Look to those who live this fact

Will it ever bring a point of total satisfaction
Will it ever carry true and complete happiness

Most who have not, dream to have
Most who have, dream or scheme for more

Greed drives those ruled by the dollar sign
Their money pit has neither top nor bottom

All the riches amassed in life, will stay at death
How so the woe caused by ruthless behavior

Is it not itme for some decision
Is it not time for humility

This reminds me of a family member of mine....she thinks she has everything and that nobody sees the bad things she does.......but there are those with pure hearts who know better. Enjoyed this   -SEA

I have had the American Dream, big house, cars and lots of bills. Now I live in a little travel trailer, have used car and don't owe on a thing. I am so much happier. My husband is home more and money didn't buy happiness, being together brought happiness.
