True Blessing In Life
People strive all their life to reach
Some level of material abundance,
But the getting reaches a point in which
Some lose life's meaning and substance.
As the years pass they then realize,
They really had the best all the time,
The simple joys they missed with their eyes
Slipped away so fast in their prime.
The last years of age can make one see,
That this life's gold is just good health.
A man may live in simple austerity,
But his body in good shape...is wealth.
