As he stood in front of all that is his,
All that he made from his lives work.
He cried

All that he ever wanted was his
All except one thing
The single most important thing in a mans life
Something he never had because of his greed.
Love

The love of a woman
Someone to care
Someone to understand

He has everything money can buy
They say money brings happiness
But what is happiness without love

As he stairs at all that is his
He dies a lonely man
He had everything money could buy
Except the single most important thing of all
For money can’t buy love
