I've never had
anything
of real value
Just a few
trinkets
I've no
palatial dwelling
no shiny chariot
I have no
gold or silver
to barter with
My meals are
simple fair
My riches
have amounted to
the warmth
of the sun
chasing away the chills.
The earth
prosperous and abundant
with life
all around me.
I have water
enough to quench
these lips
and nourish
my garden
All that I
require
is provided me
But, you...
Having you
gave me something
worth losing
