Money can't buy everything.
Money can't buy reunions with your family after a long years wait.
Money can't buy family, hugging, glad to see you.
Money can't buy the music in your mind as you see your baby cousin.
Money can buy many things, but not your family's love.

Money can't buy everything.
Money can't buy the delighted cries of children, singing in the breeze.
Money can't buy the joy you feel sitting with your friends.
Money can't buy the bursting in your heart, remembering these times.
Money can buy food and clothes, but it can't buy you.

Money can't buy everything.
Money can't buy the murmuring wind, slithering over the grass.
Money can't buy the clouds drifting over the swaying trees,
ready to rain or shine.
Money can't buy birds soaring rapidly, silently over the rotating earth.
Money can buy many things, but it can't buy the nature of our world.

Money can't buy everything.
Money can't buy peaceful soaring on golden wings over fields of molten silver,
children playing with their happiness.
Money can't buy the anger or confusion you feel, frustrated on decimals or division.
Money can buy a place in school,
but it can't buy your heart.

Money Can't Buy Everything
by Eden

Family is the first thing you see in your life.
Money can't buy a mother, a father, or a sister.
Money is one thing, but it is not everything.
Money can't buy the smile on my mom's face
or the joy of my dad when he's with me.
Money can't buy the fun and laughter
of me and my sister or
the great activities we do as we
laugh and play hand clapping and
hide and go seek.
Money can't buy everything.

Friendship is a kind of love between you and your friends.
Friends can help you along the way in school and sports.
Money can't buy everything.
Friends can help you feel better when you are sad
and play with you.
Friends can be like family.

The grass grows like a green dragonfly.
Money can't buy everything,
as the big oak tree grows, it does not move,
just is a still shadow standing there in the summer.
 Money can't buy everything.

gets mad me then says she'll always love me
even when she's mad at me.
Money can't buy Nicolas laughing like crazy.
Money can't buy Rex, Luca and me jumping around,
shooting hoops with a small, light brown basketball,
like a bee zooming around, buzzing like mad,
trying to get its honey, just like Rex, Luca and me
shooting hoops with that small, round basketball.

Money can't buy the beautiful, blank, gentle clouds
and the burning, warm sun,
warmer than handwarmer inside a glove.
Money can't buy the very bright moon in
the dim, dark night.

Money can't buy my gorgeous bursting smile.
money can't buy me and my brother zipping around,
carrying the precious, brown football.
Money can't buy Nicolas, Luca and me giggling and
cracking up like a big, black, bomb.
