A Satisfied Mind

How many times have you heard someone say

"If I had his money I would do things my way"?

But little they know that it is so hard to find

One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind

Once I was winning in fortune and fame

Everything that I dreamed for to get a start in life's game

But suddenly it happened, I lost every dime

But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind

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

Or 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 life has ended, my time has run out

My friends and my loved ones I leave, there's no doubt

But one thing for certain when it comes my time

I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
