PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I found a sign in the middle of the road

and, for a moment, I was bewitched.

I saw it as synchronicity…

a sign that I’d be rich.

And it’s true I did find 20 dollars

sitting on the ground…

but it made me pause a moment…

to stop and look around.

It seems my life is filled with love.

I get to spend it every day…

on my wife, my children, my grandchildren…

and friends I meet along the way.

And it’s true, finding 20 dollars

did give me a thrill…

but love will last forever…

unlike a 20 dollar bill.

And I know it does sound so corny

and you may think I am a clown…

But I already consider myself

the richest man in town.

So this morning I took that 20 dollars

and put it back unceremoniously…

Hopefully someone will find it…

who needs it more than me.
