An Essence of Being Rich

I May Be Poor; But Rich on
                                         Things Money Can't Buy: 

                                       People loved me, for I have
                                        True Friends Who Believed 
                                        On My Cause, Not For who
                                      I am and For What I can Offer;

                                         I Have A Loving Wife and
                                          Good Sons, Who Stood
                                          By My Side, United On A
                                         Simple Abode, Struggling
                                         But Enduring The Tests Of
                                         Life, Not Causing Maladies
                                           To Our Fellow Beings;

                                          I have a Strong Relation 
                                         With God, Always Reaching
                                         Out in Prayers, for Guidance,
                                          Being Remorseful of My Sins
                                           And Striving to Do What is
                                           Right for His Church; and,

                                           I have Peace of mind with
                                           Proud Stature; Walking Tall
                                           On Streets and Dark Alleys
                                            Without Fear and Anxiety,
                                           For Although A Sinner I am,
                                              I Enjoy the Luxury of A
                                              Guilt-Free Conscience.

                                            I Am Poor, But Happy and
                                            Contented On An Enduring
                                                 Simplicity of Life, By 
                                           Destiny and Personal Choice.
