My World

My world, my life is not like yours
But please don't criticize
My world is based on solitude
Out here beneath God's skies

Out here I find the things I need
That help to keep me whole
I do not wish for wealth like you
Wealth would not feed my soul

At times I sort of envy you
And at times I just do not
'Though I've a whole lot less than you
I've paid for what I've got

My wealth's the gold of autumn leaves
The emerald green of spring
And I simply would not trade with you
No, not for anything!

Your world sounds wonderful to me John. Plain & simple, uncomplicated. "A come as you are" lifestyle. It must be lovely.
Beautiful piece of work.
