Is This Really All

The yearn for wealth and fame and this thing known as pride
Are flaws of the self that to our egos are tied
And contentment in the mind do deprive of space
Some people have their lacking in happiness etched on their face
So lucky are those who seem happy enough
Though financially poor and in life doing it tough
Who finds it easy to smile as if they do not have a care
Though of financial woes they do have their own share
Though financially poor their worries seem small
As is said of life one cannot have it all
The richest woman in the town she was buried last May
In life happiness from her always seemed far away
Over her money and property her family have fallen out
Is this really all that life should be about?
