Sometimes when the lights are out
I sit in the dark and wait
waiting for thoughts that fill my head
dreaming about what to do
with a million bucks
being rich should give you
some happiness they say
money
will it help to get a better life
sometimes I wonder
cause happiness has to be within
within oneself
happiness you must create
it's not given
but if you just sit and wait for it
a million bucks won't help
I guess
So I sit here when the lights are out
sometimes I'm happy
sometimes I just wish I had a million bucks

A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess...

I'd rather be dirt poor and in the arms of someone who loves me right now than have money....and yes, I understand this poem very well, we all wish for this at one time or another.

Would it help to know that you're worth much more than that! I think so!   Even in the dark, your words are enlightening.
Sincerely,

Titia, I think you come up with some interesting thoughts when the lights are out--- You sound like you have a very rich life, even if you don't have a million bucks, and Titia-girl, I KNOW you have a million dollar garden too. I envy the beauty you have around you. hugs.

I want the love of my life in my arms and a million bucks. LOL
I got the thought here, but wouldn't it be nice, anyway?

You make a great point here, Titia.  I'm with Irish Rose, give me a man who truly loves me and keep the money, it will never be able to busy happiness.  Yes, material possessions are nice and all, but they hold no real value.  Those who have true love and someone to stick by them through thick and thin are the ones who are truly wealthy.  I like this one much!  

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
