"Silver and Gold" by Caroline Lumsden

She's coated with jewels, 

silver and gold. 

She has the world at her feet, 

yet her heart is so cold.

She has love, 

and wealth, 

and a hand to hold.

But she realized happiness

can never be sold. 

She drips with glitter, 

silver and gold. 

And as she gets old, 

she's constantly told

that she can't be sad

because of the objects she has, 

but people don't see

what is underneath

the silver and gold.
