If I Received

If I received a million dollars today
my wife would receive gifts in waves
my kids would find why I'm this way
I wouldn't run or leave I would smile and stay,
If I received a million dollars today
I would make a strangers payday
some ones ship would come their way
the have nots would remember this day,
If I received a million dollars today
a smile would cross my face I'd have to say
for I know money doesn't matter not on this day
loved before it came happy, humble, living in the grey
If I received a million dollars today
I would know how to give it all away
with no regrets for without it I was who I am yesterday
but so many know $ can't buy, didn't buy what I have today.
