I would be a millionaire
if I had the money -
You won't believe it!
I do!
I have the wealth
of flowing warmth,
of unconditional friendship,
of joy galore,
of peace ashore.
I am a millionaire
of love lost and deservedly gained,
of lessons cruelly learnt and used,
of soaring spirits after calamity borne,
of pen bent, broken and repaired...
I am a millionaire.
I have the money
of Life!
of Gratitude!

Thanks Inquisitive09. God bless....
More often than not, the riches of the world come free, but we're so busy focussing on the things that come at a price that we miss them...
what a fun take..
best regards.

WONDERFUL! I like your perspective and message.
Shail, my first visit to your blog, courtesy of Carry On Tuesday. Your priorities are definitely in line with so many of ours! Being rich is so much better than having lots of money, isn't it? Thanks so much for the smile.

Thanks Gloria. I suppose all of us have these treasures but most of us (me included) tend to take them for granted. Don't you think so?
Thanks dear Jingle. That's so very sweet of you....
nice one
Good one :) It totally depends on what your perspective is of 'treasure in life' :)
Oh thanks Gargi. So good to see you here.....
Hi Ashwathy,
Very true. Our perspectives define our wealth.
Money could be here today and gone tomorrow but richness of existence remains for ever after!! Very well put forth!!
Thanks dear Nanka. Indeed. The wealth of realization, of hope, of caring are the real treasures.
A very special kind of milionaire! a lucky one with an endless bank account called life! A lively poem!
Absolutely. We need to be reminded from time to time. :)
You have it all!
You are rich indeed, Shail! We do have so many blessings in our lives..it is always a good time to stop and appreciate their bounty! This is a lovely and touching poem...

Good work.
All essentials are necessary for recipe and in appropriate amount.
Excess or deficiency of anything, spoils the taste.
Every body has his own taste and needs.
Our mind understands the currency of warth, gratitude, happiness and peace while money is one of the materials sometimes essential for these.

I love this poem
Thanks Gemma. We all are actually these special kinds of millionaires. It is just that we stop realizing this and begin depending on other things....
Thanks Harshad. We all have this wealth....
Thanks you Lynette. Yes, we need to pause a wee bit in life or else life just flies away....
Thanks so much Cynthia...
Thanks Dr. Goyal. Indeed, our mind does recongize it all but seldom wants to pause and realize it. That's where we falter and we begin searching for other things...
Wow! Brilliant. Depth, narrative, underlying theme unique and astounding!
Very true Shail, we are one of a kind millionaires only if we realise that.
Really Great to know still someone thinks that money alone is not important in Life.
Thanks Geeta. Nice you liked the poem so much.....
Thanks Bhargavi. Yes, we all are millionaires. It is just that we don't realize it...
Thanks Hari. Yes, you know us. We are like this only!
I LOVE IT!!!!
I love your comment Brinda.....
