And now behold this sulking boy, <br />His costly presents bring no joy; <br />Harsh tears of anger fill his eye <br />Tho’ he has all that wealth can buy. <br />What profits it that he employs <br />His many gifts to make a noise? <br />His playroom is so placed that he <br />Can cause his folks no agony. <br /> <br />MORAL: <br /> <br />Mere worldly wealth does not possess <br />The power of giving happiness.<br /><br />Ellis Parker Butler<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-rich-boy-s-christmas/
