Are You Rich Or Are You Poor? ? ... Comments

Thoughtful and sensitive poem.... Beautiful

An interesting piece; your poem inplies that a certain perspective is required to understand what you're saying - and I do agree with you; wealth and possessions do not guarantee happiness, but can help ease one's living conditions. The trick is to make sure that one's possessions don't own one's self; loved the Scriptural footnote! -Joe Breunig Reaching Towards His Unbounded Glory

Factual and absolutely impeccable! ! If we could take but a moment to reflect on the countless blessings that are more than often taken for granted. Thank you Sharon.

Thankyou for your comment Veeraiyah. There are many people around the world that live in poverty and the message I was putting forth is that many people just don't realise how well off they are compared to these people. There are some that complain when they, without sometimes realising it, have so much.

Sharon Maree Smith, everyone has the right to feel rich or poor under comfortable condition in different era, but people are still poor all around the world and they have the right to live comfortably.

Rich is a comity that few truly understand what the have. And I'm not talking about materialistic. For those are even plentiful then the ones I speak of, The ones who plenty of loved ones, family and friends in their lives. And don't even understand how lucky they are. They take it granted every day. But with a blow of an ominous wind it could be all stolen away. Trust when I know this oh so personally. Like a next door continuously knocking it will never leave my mind. No matter how hard or how much I wish, in life theirs is still no rewind, Once it is lost sometimes it is so hard to get back. Especially the older you get.
