Analysis of MONEY CAN’T BUY (Poem #219)
I know a little family that lives out in the woods.
It's just a trailer that they have without many worldly goods.
They spend much of their time together working in their garden.
And from many stresses of the world they seem to harden.
Nature shares its beauty, and they learn from birds and bees.
Many of life's lessons are brought to them with ease.
And as in the sky they watch the rising and setting of the sun,
Peace, love, contentment fill their hearts with what God has done.
Things that money can't buy but are given from above,
Being most important, a family filled with love.
