The Almighty Dollar

Wealth, status, fortune and fame The finest cuisines known to mankind Dreaming of the life you wish you could live If only you had more of that almighty dollar Sipping a drink on a private island Surrounded by gorgeous people at your beck and call Wouldn't it be something, wouldn't it be everything If only you had more of that almighty dollar The designer clothes, the designer cars The mansion with too many rooms to count You'd have the finest possessions money could buy If only you had more of that almighty dollar But ask yourself, next time you fantasize When you find yourself wishing for fortune and fame Once you have everything the almighty dollar can buy Do you really have, anything at all?

Ah, well said, Avery. So sad that we put so much stock in material things. The simple life of simple means is best, I think.

Thank you! I have a sign by my door that reads "the best things in life aren't things" - good words to live by :)
