I Am Rich

I am rich,
Rich of a good health,
Rich of a strong body,
Rich of a balanced mind,
Thanks to God.

I am rich,
Rich of learning,
Rich of experiences,
Rich of the past,
Thanks to my parents.

I am rich,
Rich of skills,
Rich of education,
Rich of possibilities,
Thanks to my teachers.

I am rich,
Rich of the sun rising,
Rich of the birds singing,
Rich of the trees growing.

I am rich,
Rich of a warm family,
Rich of a nice home,
Rich of good food.

I am rich,
Rich of dreams,
Rich of causes,
Rich of reasons to live.

I am rich,
Rich of ideas,
Rich of projects,
Rich of ambitions.

I am rich,
Rich of targets to reach,
Rich of visions to realize,
Rich of the future.

Poor banker,
You say you are rich,
You think you are rich,
But it is of money only.
