Wealth and rich, two words entwined
Yet vastly different, in truth undefined
Society's lens, a narrow view
Equates success with material pursuit
A car, a home, a status symbol
But is it truly wealth, or just a fragile bubble?
For some, it's a milestone, a dream achieved
But for others, a burden, a debt relieved
We're not in a race, yet we compare
Our journey's pace, our accomplishments shared
But time and tide, they wait for none
Our blessings come, when the moment's ripe and done
Don't worry about the Joneses, their success
Your path unwinds, at its own pace, its own progress
Work towards your goals, with heart and soul
Don't measure yourself, by another's role
Wealth is the abundance, of love and laughter
Richness is the depth, of life's precious matter
It's the moments lived, the memories made
Not just the money, or the possessions displayed
So let's redefine, what wealth means to us
And celebrate, our own unique journey's fuss
For in the end, it's not what we own
But the love we share, and the life we've grown.
