I think that I am wealthy
With this beauty all around,
For it's only in a grateful heart
That true wealth can abound.
You are richer than a sultan
If you feel the love of God
And see his magic handwork
In the earth on which we plod.
If you know the times and seasons
Are part of his plan sublime
And each growing, living creature
Is appointed and divine,
The flowers flaming colors
Were not made for selfish
But for all God's humble children
To enjoy with all their hearts.
The fragrance of the violets
And the perfume of the rose
Were made for grateful hearts to see
God made it, I suppose.
