Not money, nor any other physical fulfillment ….

Poem:

Not money, nor any other physical fulfillment,

Nor fancies, passing like bubbles bursting,

Nor recognition of those in high places

Who for special privileges keep thirsting,

Nor accolades of contest-winning damsels,

Bedecked with embellishments of

Tinseled artificiality contrary to

The unglorified simplicities of love,

Can ignite happiness, plain and simple,

(Dependent not on expectations wild,

Nor frills of publicity so purposeful),

As the pure happiness

Of an innocent child.
