Where Can I Buy Happine$$ Poem by Sean Lux

Where Can I Buy Happine$$

Rating: 4.5


Money cannot buy happiness; I know this to be true.
If it did the smiles of poor would be forced and few.

I've traveled around the world to countries with names hard to pronounce.
Some are so poor they could not buy food by the pound, by the gallon or even an ounce.

One thing stood out to me when watching these people who had little in a material way.
They and their children would often smile and enjoy life each day.

So one lesson I've learned from traveling around is that happiness cannot be bought, but it can be found.
