Money Can't Buy Everything poems

In this poetry exercise, we discussed things from various areas of our lives (family, friends, health and nature) that money can't buy. Here are some of the thoughts put into poems:

Money Can't Buy Everything
by Mari

Money can't buy everything.
Money can't buy sitting in a glassy stream with Gabriella,
as our hands touch the lazy waves.
We grab hands and speed up.
We jump like pink dolphins swimming
in the Amazon, the stream streaks our bodies as
we pass by.

Money can't buy skiing with my cousin Emma
on big, puffy powder with the sun on the top of the hill.

Money can't buy playing frisbee with
a whirling disc with my dad.

Money can't buy me!

Money Can't Buy Everything
by Indra

Money can't buy everything.
Money can't buy the bright sunshine.
Money can't buy stars or the peaceful mountains.
Money can't buy natuer.
Money can't buy the love that my mom gives me every day.
It can't buy my family that plays with me and gives me lvoe.
Money can't buy my family.
Money can't buy the happiness in my home.
Money can't buy friendship.
Money can't buy laughter.
Money can't buy my smile.
Money can't buy the lovely secred I tell my friend.
Money can't buy everything!

Money Can't Buy Everything
by Gracie

Money can't buy everything.
Money can't buy the love my Grandma gave me
before she died.
She used to make me Mickey Mouse pancakes
or Donald Duck pancakes if I wanted.
Money can't buy the laughter me and my
friends share ro the smiles that
surround us in our little world, in my
room with my friends.
In our world of laughter,
we also have something else,
tolerance. We don't laugh
at some other friends dress or
make fun of their silly looking hat.
We make compliments about it.
Money can't buy the love that your family
sharew with you.

Money Can't Buy Everything
by Fisher

Money can't buy everything.
Money can't break the connection between
me and my family.
Money can't buy the tiem I enjoy with my cousins.
Money can't buy life.
Money can't buy beauty.
But most of all,
money can't buy friendship.
Money can't buy happines in this life time.
Money isn't everything!

Money Can't Buy Everything
by Sam

Money can't buy everything.
Money can't buy your friend's
friendship and compassion for one another.
Money can't buy the love and compassion,
and money can't buy your own mom and your own dad either.
Money can't buy the swaying flowers.
Money can't buy the big and glorious world.

Money Can't Buy Everything
by Andi

Money can't buy everything.
Money can't buy the place I go to at the end of the
day called home, the warm life.
I have heard a story that goes like this,
"A place to go is home and someone to love
is family. Having both is a blessing."
So be careful...
Money can't lasso the moon or the sun
that makes me shine.
Money can't buy the love I spread
on that shiny day.
Money can't buy the friends that live
right here, in this world.


Money Can't Buy Everything

by Phoebe

Money can't buy everything.
Moneyfcan't buy the bitter winds that
blow through my window or
the magical tree where I sit.

Money can't buy
family. It can't buy
love or my mom and dad.

Money can't buy
happy laughter or the
good relationships that my friends and I have.
Money can't buy health.
It can't buy the fort I have in
my backyard or the
flowing river by my house.
It also can't buy the fish that live
in the river, the deer that graze in
the brown grasses or the robins that
eats the worms in the spring.
Money can't buy everything.

Money Can't Buy Everything
by Ella

Money can't buy everything.
Money can't buy the glistening stream,
the dazzling clear blue sky,
the sparkling wind that blows
gently agains the tree tops,
the slim, rough rock,
the spotted coat of a fawn hardly about to see,
being so well protected by a bush.

Money can't buy smiles and laughter
between two people,
friendship is so strong and sturdy.

Money can't buy a family of love,
laughter and joy, the people in
that family get inspired and then
the love cannot be
destroyed.

Money can't buy running on the
silver paved sidewalks with my mom
by my side, with the cool breeze
at my back.
