The Mansion Comments

Sometimes we are over-complicating our pursuit of the basics of happiness. We are possibly overlooking what we already have and missing out on happiness in the process. Having a “Mansion” with tons of gold hanging in the chandeliers and lots of silver embedded in the kitchen wares is far from making us happy.

I am just a simple person With tons of gold And lots of diamonds Sitting at the bottom Of my heart......fantastic expression. A beautiful poem so nicely executed.10

you are keen observer of life - self satisfaction carries (unseen) heavenly happy- I live in a house So old and tiny Devoid of gadgets And fancy furniture Yet, I am Absolutely happy. nice

Rose Marie, the last stanza says it all. There is a billionaire from Australia in his forties. Inherited wealth. Has everything but at the present time he is suffering deep depression. Material wealth is comforting to a point. We live in our minds not in grand houses.++10

I live in a house So old and tiny Devoid of gadgets And fancy furniture Yet, I am Absolutely happy......so moving. A beautiful poem shared astutely. Thanks for sharing.

But in her heart She felt like homeless Of the wheel of sadness And emptiness In her life. tones of gold in my heart.. my poverty makes me a loveable person.......... in simple language you are presenting a great idea.. material wealth is nothing.......... thank u dear poetess. tony

How true. How true. A very pleasant poem to read and an eye opener for those only thinking about money and luxury. If the heart and soul are not complete? theres no gold in the world that can complete it.

I live in a house So old and tiny Devoid of gadgets And fancy furniture Yet, I am Absolutely happy. Your life is hundred times better than your wealthy friend.
