A Satisfied Mind

How many times have
You heard someone say
If I had his money
I could do things my way.

But little they know
That it's 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.

Then 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 my life has ended
And my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones
I'll leave there's no doubt.

But one thing's for certain
When it comes my time
I'll leave this old world
With a satisfied mind.

How many times have
You heard someone say
If I had his money
I could do things my way.

But little they know
That it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten
With a satisfied mind.
