Wealth

Everything, I possess, ten-times over

May not append a worthy sum

Life blesses and enriches, perchance

Aimed, by destiny's, grace or shun

Yet, what I have makes me most, affluent

Though, the wealthiest may not agree

Still, I beg to be at variance

My secrets plain to see

Look past my whitewashed walls

Around my, threadbare, aged settee

Through my second hand, attire

To what enriches me!

I realise it's not obvious

Unseen, by naked eye

Yet, every day that passes

My riches, multiply

Every smile my family gives

Encrusts my walls in precious stone

Each thank you, each embrace

Transpires my couch, into a throne!

Their happiness and contentment

Marbles, every single, floor

A laugh, turns pot to silver

A, hello! oaken's, every door

I love you floods the coffers

That keep my wealth inside

It bathes my mind in dignity

And strains my heart with pride

As they grow older, I'll become richer

As they fulfil there sought for goals

Fate's been more than generous, in my favour

Aren't I the luckiest of souls!
