Our Wealth in God

Wealthy Blessings

I thought I had so little, but I have a lot,
Maybe I don't have a mansion or a yacht;
Many other ways that we build our wealth,
We can be rich in wisdom and our health;
We never notice and taking it for granted,
How many seeds that the Lord has planted;
From the time that started with our birth,
We increase in value for what we're worth;
Knowledge gain from parents and school,
Preparing us to succeed and not be a fool;
We grow up so fast to go out on our own,
To find our destiny in the great unknown;
One thing in our life that is consistent,
Knowing that our God is always present;
He's always is there when we have a need,
And our direction to travel as to proceed;
Too many times we are to busy to hear,
God's voice telling us direction to steer;
Such a blessing if we'd stop and listen,
He'd triple our wealth and make it glisten.
