I AM NOT A RICH MAN

                                                                                           
               BUT RICH I AM


 I do not own a home or a treasure chest of gold,


 Stocks and bonds are few, diamonds are a little too.


 I am not a rich man as calculated by statistics and 
 Daily man,

 A special car or a vacation home does not show of my 
 Value,

 I am not a rich man, estimated by paper money or material 
 Things.

 But rich I am, If life is valued in a simple way, just a 
 Regular day,

 These things are free but of gold bars to me, listen to 
 What makes a rich man.

 If love is in your day then rich you are in a most 
 Special way,

 I can walk and see with my every day, I breathe freely, 
 I'm okay.

 A roof over my head, clothes on my back, never to bed 
 Am I hungry,

 So much can cost money, beauty, staying healthy, a song 
 you sing is free.

 But rich I am, with that which is mine and my thoughts 
 Every day.
