A Satisfied Mind

How many times have you heard someone say

If I had his money I could do things my way

But little they know that it's so hard to find

Once rich man in ten with a satisfied mind

Once I was winning in fortune and fame

Everything I could wish for to get a start in life's game

Then suddenly it happened I lost every dime

But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind

Money won't buy back your youth when you're old

A friend when you're lonely or a love that's grown cold

The wealthiest person is a pauper at times

Compared to the man with a satisfied mind

When my life is over my time has run out

My friends and my loved ones will weep there's no doubt

But one things for certain when it comes my time

I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
