Me Beyond Material Wealth
In a world obsessed with what I own,
A truth profound, let it be known.
Having less, does not define my worth,
For there's more life than riches from birth.

Respect is earned through deeds and grace,
Not by the wealth one's embrace.
Love transcends the material and grand,
It's found in gestures, in the touch of a hand.

In the eyes of others, I'm not for sale,
Our value's not measured by what I entail.
A heart's true wealth is compassion and care,
In these qualities, my worth is rare.

Though society may judge by gold and fame,
My true value lies in a different frame.
In kindness, in love, in the way I share,
I prove my worth, and for that, I dare.

in this world's endless thrall,
Having less doesn't make me small.
My worth is in the love I impart,
For it's the goodness in me that warms the heart.
