I Wonder Why This Should Be

For my age in material things i have little to show And so little of life and of Nature i know But we never stop learning as some like to say And we learn something new about life every day In the Human World few more important things one could name Than money which brings with it for most some fame Lack of it in many can be the cause of low self esteem At least anyway that is how it does seem Yet you may be financially well off and living at a fashionable address But your money does not guarantee you greater happiness Than the one who is struggling for to make ends meet One on a low income in a known to be poor street I am reasonably happy but people financially poorer than me Are far happier than i am i wonder why this should be?
