The best things in life are not things,
It is loving people who give your life wings!
Things are just tools that help you live,
They can not you solace give,
They can not with you in crises stand,
They can not with you in difficult times together band,
They can not offer you a shoulder to cry on,
They can not the mantle of a bosom friend don,
They can not you encourage and inspire,
They can never for your perspire!
They can never lend you a sympathetic ear,
They can not help exorcise your demons of fear!
So do not on things bet,
No love and feeling out of them can you get!
After all they are distant, lifeless and cold,
They can never become your companion warm and bold!
Invest in people if you have to,
That will be a far wiser thing to do!
It is people who will you sustain and nourish,
It is in the shade of their love that you will flower and flourish!
