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 Im 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 life has ended

And my time has run out.

My friends and my loved ones

Will leave, there's no doubt.

But there's one thing for certain

When it comes my time.

Ill 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.
