The Richest Man In The World

Thanks Tony for the theme.
It pays to take stock every now and again

The Richest Man In The World,

I have no wish for silver or gold,
Or diamonds bright a sight to behold,
The thought of fast cars never enters my head,
Mountains of cash leaves my mund dead,
I’m the Richest man in the world.

No urge for power or particular fame,
The thought of politics leaves my mind lame,
The prowess at sports is not for me,
I am just happy to let all that be,
I’m the richest man in the world

I have work to sustain us, enough for each day,
Enough food in the cupboard to keep hunger away,
A wife to love me, I can come home each night,
And play with my shildren then kiss them goodnight,
I;m the richest man in the world,

When I read of conditions that face most of mankind
No hope for the future, or food can they find,
Freedom suppressed, terror abounds, in their lands,
For the good life I have, I can give God my thanks,
I’m the richest man in the world
