What We Truly Own

The real luxuries in life are what money cannot buy.

They are the moments we would not trade for the world.

The late night drives

Taking a trip on a moments notice

Sitting close together, saying nothing.

Holding each other in the silence of calm

Sharing kisses, holding hands

Reading to one another

Dancing in the kitchen

Laughing together until it hurts

And perhaps having times when we can act like kids being silly

Joy is not found in things we have or may collect

It is the memories that stay long after the stuff we collected is gone

True wealth is not measured by what we own

But in what we have left, if all was taken away
