Important Idea Regarding $$$

MONEY IS VALUE AND VALUE DOES NOT GO "AWAY."

MUCH LIKE THE WRAPPERS WE THROW IN TRASH BINS LANDFILL-BOUND, THERE IS NO "AWAY" WHEN IT COMES TO SOME THINGS.

SOME THINGS LIKE LOVE--

THERE IS NO AWAY!

YOUR LOVING GAZE MAY FALL ON A HATEFUL FACE,

BUT THAT LOVE HAS BEEN EXPRESSED AND DOES NOT GO

AWAY.

SOME THINGS LIKE JOY--

THERE IS NO AWAY!

SOME THINGS LIKE CARBON.

WE MUST BE WISE,

of course,

BUT MONEY IS VALUE

AND VALUE DOES NOT GO AWAY!

FOLLOW THE DOLLAR,

IT'S GOING WHERE IT NEEDS TO.

SOME DAYS I REMEMBER

I WANT TO SEND ANOTHER CHECK

TO HEFFER INTERNATIONAL,

SO I WON'T GET THE MOCHA.

BUT, SOME DAYS I'LL GO AHEAD

AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE CAFE'S

MANAGER'S DAUGHTER'S COLLEGE FUND.

AND ALSO,

NOW THERE IS A MOCHA.

IT DOES NOT GO AWAY.

I GAVE THIS BUM A FIVE

AND MADE HIM PROMISE IT WOULDN'T BE

FOR MEAT.

I'M NEVER GOING TO KNOW,

BUT I DO KNOW IT WENT SOMEWHERE.

MAYBE THE DRUG DEALER'S NEW MUFFLER.

THE AUTO-MECHANIC IS SAVING UP

FOR A KINDLE.

He wants to read Malcolm Gladwell on the bus.

WE LOST THE FAMILY MEMBERSHIP CARD TO THE SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY MUSEUM, AND I WANT TO GO TOMORROW.

RATS, MAN. RATS. THAT WAS EXPENSIVE, AND NOW,

I STILL HAVE TO PAY.

BUT THAT MUSEUM IS FULL OF MEMORIES FOR ME.

I LEARNED ABOUT COAL MINING THERE,

AND THE FIRST TRAINS, ICEBERGS, BABY CHICKS.

I CAN DONATE A FIFTEEN DOLLAR ADMISSION.

I HAVE BEEN GIVEN SO MUCH,

AND IT DOES NOT GO AWAY.
