Money is an entity,
needed for stability.
Provides great amenities ,
vanquishes identities,
Swallow ambitions hard pill,
to obtain proficient skills.
Weariness surrounds free will,
green eyed monsters shoot to kill.
People say they want the best,
most can not sit down to rest,
always filled with new requests,
seek to find lost treasure chests.
Many can become obsessed,
with the thought of new progress,
a daydream they live to stress,
unaware they have been blessed.
Open inner eyes to see,
most needs are covered for free,
wants accompanied by fees,
will appear if meant to be.
It is fine to strive and thrive,
take passions out for a drive,
Joys allow minds to contrive,
resources that come alive.

I really liked this. Money shouldn’t dominate your life.
Happy to hear that. Absolutely .๐
That last line is magical to me, Grace. Love this message. Here’s to manifesting more resources to do even more good in 2023. ๐
Thanks so much, K. Happy to hear that. Yessss letโs do it. Absolutely, my friend.๐๐๐

Love this. I really relate to it right now. Though money shouldnโt be the most important thing in our lives, we need it in order to live. Sadly, in todayโs economy, I work three jobs (70 hours a week) to barely scrape by. Itโs insane! Thank you for sharing this relatable poem, and Happy New Year ๐
So happy you enjoyed it. I totally get it. Hopefully things will get better soon. Thank you so much. Happy New Year, my friend.๐
I hope so too! I have leads on a different job that pays a bit more, so hopefully that works out! Youโre very welcome, and thank you too ๐
Keeping my fingers crossed for you and wishing you the best. Hope this New Year is full of blessings for you.๐๐๐
Thank you so much, Grace!

Marvelous reflection! You nailed it. Money is an entity.
Thank you so much, dear Suzette ๐

I have never had much money and my poetry is definitely a nonprofit hobby, but I am comfortable and happily satisfied with my simple and humble existence …
I am so happy to hear that, my friend. Thank you so much for sharing.๐๐๐
Giving of yourself, from the kindness of your heart. Not looking to receive, but hoping to be a blessing. Love in action, doesnโt anticipate an reward, but acts on of daring, to share the love insideโฆ your heart!
Absolutely. So true, my friend. Thank you so much for sharing.๐
Youโre welcome!

Can I tell you something craaaaaaazy synchronistic with this:
Today I attended a Kโiche Maya ceremony where I burned money as an offering at the temple of the Sun.
What a lovely treat to read this hours laterโฆ
