No Hunger
No appetite for wealth or fame,
for each will snuff out like a flame
No thirst for beauty, strength or youth,
for each will fade, as sure as truth
No desire for power or control,
for each will gnaw upon the soul
My craving now's for life and health,
for each will bring to me, true wealth
A life to live with gratefulness
and no hunger for what I don't possess....
