I AM RICH








I AM RICH



I have people I go to every day
Each with their very own endearing way,
We build a bond of friendship and of trust
I do all I can for them, I must.



What I get from them is beyond compare
All I give them back is my time and care,
They tell me of the hard times they have had
It was a way of life so they`re not sad.



My wages are low but I do not mind
`Cause job satisfaction is what I find,
Not many can say they enjoy their job
Most are just out to earn a few bob.



If my job were to pay just a 5p
For every time these people said to me,
You are an angel, bless you or thank you
I`d earn more money this way, it`s true.



I consider myself to be well off
Although some people may very well scoff,
These people`s words echo their sentiments
So, therefore, I am rich in compliments.
