Free Me
Free me
from the material world
in younger years
yearned for more
not one internal smile
or genuine fragment of happiness
came from things
reflecting on my need for greed
a right old dingaling I was
Singing now from poorer page
as I rapidly age
simple life
love of wife
family and friends
enough to get by
bread of life and shelter
my happiness is priceless
money didn’t buy.
