I have
a course in life

I
am trying
to be human

With
all the others
in this world

I
am trying
to be
the best I can

My grades
will be
each day
I am here

I
am
not better
just trying
to be good

I
am
not
in any class
for I see
only one world

Grant
you there
are poor and rich

Better
off does not
make you better

There
are some
who find
greatness
being poor

There
are others
who are rich

Find
they are
burdened
by it all

I
am best
when
I am human

I
am even
better
when
I help
my fellow man

If
I was born
with a silver spoon

It
does not
mean
my plate is full

If
I was not!

Does
not mean
I have
an empty one

For heart
and spirit
need both be full

If
I am poor
if I am rich

It matters
only
if I lose
my soul

For
in the end
it will not
be money
That
will bring
you to heaven

But
a heart of gold

Love
knows no rich or poor

It touches
all who seek it

Only man
puts it in a class

Poor little boy!

A THOUGHT!
If my spirit is rich
I have no need for gold
If my pockets are full
my heart is empty
What is my soul?

DEDICATED TO HUMANITY

A Poeatreeman
The measure of a man
Is not
If his pockets are filled
But his heart
Has riches beyond gold
For what if a man
Has no heart
Where
Could he place
His greatest treasure?
He cannot
For he does not hold it .
