The luckiest to be born, is that if a poor man,
he learns the treasures of everything he can.
Those born into all riches, have no true understanding of richness.
Seeing us not as humans, but those living in poverty, as an illness.

one only brought with dough.
Love, trust, compassion and grace defining the difference, in richest and wealth.
