Rich Man,Poor Man

If you had to live the way I do, then you too would feel sad and blue. To have so little good and so much bad, would leave absolutely anyone feeling down and sad. If you had to live my life, even for just one day, I'd understand if you turned to God and got down on your knees to pray. I can tell you how it is and you'll nod in sympathy but not until you've lived this way.... Will you understand how it is for me. If I could make you live my life and give you what I've got, you would spend your days rejoicing and all your misery forgot. If I could make you have as much as I do, you'd grin from ear to ear all day through. If you could live my life even for just one day, You'd be thanking God, for blessing you this way. I could tell you how it is to live with such wealth but you'd never understand until you've lived it for yourself. H
