It’s not about the money
It doesn’t grow on trees
It doesn’t drift by in the breeze
like crumpled fallen leaves
What if wealth was in the stillness
of days that float on by
What if riches were the smiles
of strangers passing by
What if security was found
In the warmness of a hug
What if The Beatles had it right
And all you need is love?
Hope you enjoyed this week’s Sunday rhyme time. My husband and I are binge watching After Life on Netflix, it’s hilarious, sad and very life affirming (also a bit rude, there’s a lot of scrambling for the pause button when the kids walk in the room). It’s brought out the sentimental side in me. Hope you’re all having a lovely weekend.

Great poem. All we need is love… food and shelter. But, food and shelter without love, is an empty place.
“Afterlife” is so good. Funny, sad and yes, very rude. But the message is powerful. X

You’re right, on the hierarchy of needs food & shelter are right up there but the world is indeed an empty place without love, though as the protagonist in After Life is finding out love can be there in subtle ways (even when the C bomb is present 😳) xx

Great poem, good question. I think the Beatles were onto something… but I do like having some money too. Perhaps I’m more of a pragmatist than a poet?

Thanks 😊
I think a healthy pragmatist, Ally.
A world where money didn’t matter would be welcome, but perhaps not practical (yet! 😉)
