Don't Need Money Or Power

© by Bud Lemire on Jan 29, 2025

I don't need a lot of money, and I don't need any power

Just give me a good book, great music, and a shower

Great friends by my side, satisfies me

I never understood the rich, so I let it be

I've never had a lot of money, and I'm glad to say

I see the things the rich people, will never see any day

I don't need a lot of money, and I certainly don't need power

Nature is my friend, every bird, creature, and every flower

I don't like control, equality is my thing

A sunrise, sunset, and what each day will bring

Just a warm sunny day, at my favorite spot

Something cold to drink, when it's too hot

Too much money and too much power, isn't good for the soul

Why, there's something missing, it's like a deep dark hole

I'm more rich, because I have less

As long as I can get through, any mess

You guessed it, I'm for those who struggle to get by

They're the ones, who know life before they die

I'll admit, I've never been rich, and that's okay

I didn't have a hard life, but I struggled in my own way

Just enough money to get by, I enjoyed the little things

The love in my life, guided me as it pulled on my heart strings

The greatest power you'll ever have, is the love you share with

others. The friendship you give and receive from others. The help

you give to those who need it. Either by just visiting with them,

and showing compassion and understanding, or a good deed they

needed help with. You don't need a lot of money, and with all these

qualities, you already have all the power inside, when you have Love.
