My Riches

As I stepped onto the morning grass,

So soft and green,

An awesome beauty lay there,

Like no other I had seen. 

Dewdrops, sparkling with colors 

From the rising sun;

Like no jewel that man can make,

It just cannot be done! 

You can keep your silver 

That makes you so very proud;

I find my riches every day,

In a floating, fluffy cloud. 

Gold I have no need for, 

I have more than you can get;

I see and feel it all around me, 

In each beautiful sunset. 

A ruby and an emerald, 

I find in each leaf and flower of a rose;

No matter where I travel, 

All my riches with me goes. 

I am bathed in nectar, 

When I feel the wetness of the rain,

And shaded as a queen,

As I walk down a tree lined lane. 

A gentle breeze cools me 

And whispers in my listening ear,

The sweet music of creation 

That I love to feel and hear. 

If I tire of certain riches,

I look across a meadow filled with flowers,

And I see majestic mountains 

That replace your tallest towers. 

 

I have all the diamonds 

I could ever want to fill my eyes,

They sit within a universe, 

In the velvet night time skies. 

With you, I share my awesome wealth,

If you'll take time to see,

Though I may be poor in money,

I am much richer, than most will ever be!
