Rich vs poor

Rich vs poor

What riches you have,
that you deem me poor?
I have twenty-four hours each day
Do you have more?
 
I have never gone hungry
These I perceive as wealth:
the comfort of my home,
a sound mind, a body in good health
 
I love the beauty of this place -
the mountains never twice the same
I live the rhythms of the season
Can you make the same claim?
 
People...friends...family - precious treasures all -
My children and grandchildren, too
We laugh and talk and give of self
O, I have riches...Indeed I do!
