I may not have the sun and moon
Or dance among the stars
I may not spend the afternoon
Riding in fancy cars
And yet, my life has been quite blessed
Beyond what eyes can see
For while I may not have the best
I have enough for me.

I may not swim against the tide
Or scale the mountain peaks
I may not cross the countryside
For hours, days or weeks
But, I am happy in my home
With friends and family near
I have no need to stray or roam
When life, for me, is here.

I may not have a pot of gold
Or silver on my plate
But, even when I have grown old
My life shall remain great
For while I may not have the sun
Or diamonds in the rough
I will find peace, when time is done
Knowing I had enough.
