Things Of Value

Rating: 5.0


One can give and give
And give all in vain
The heart often beats
To some other strain

That is why it happens
Sometimes along the way
A rich man's daughter elopes
With a poor man's boy

A diamond can't speak
Silk, satin can't hug
The warmth of a heart
Beats a thick soft rug

So a simple hard life
Can often ensnare
Those born into riches
Missing love and care
