There's More

I started out screaming and bare,
not yet knowing how to care.
I'd cry and kick to get my way.
They'd change and feed me every day.
I didn't know I was poor,
that I could and would have more.
I grew and became a little girl,
fresh and new in the world.
Playing games and having fun,
I would laugh and I would run.
I didn't know I was poor,
I didn't know there was more.
Later I became a teen,
still young, lively, and lean.
I married and was happy for a while.
I always had a big smile.
I had my first handsome boy.
What a wonderful, precious joy.
We were a family, we were three.
We didn't have much, but we were happy.
I was poor but I didn't know.
I loved my family so.
Later, something went wrong.
We split, my husband was gone.
My son and I moved on,
but later, my son was also gone.
How I hurt, how I cried.
How I wanted to lay down and die.
Heavy in heart, filled with pain,
I moved on once again.
I married another man,
a man I didn't understand.
We had two children, a boy and a girl.
They were my whole world.
My marriage fell apart.
We split, and made a new start.
We were fine, as time went by,
although, sometimes I would cry.
I met a man and married again.
Things didn't work out as I planned.
I began to notice I was poor.
I began to know I needed more.
The riches were there all the time.
I finally saw the reason and rhyme
We can be penniless and not be poor.
In this life, there's so much more.
You knew all along I was poor.
You knew I needed more.
How I was needy, how I lacked.
How I was way off track.
Now I have you, now I see,
and I no longer am in need.
It's you Jehovah, it's you,
a God faithful and true.
I'm no longer poor.
I no longer need more.
