Wealthy

I have a dream of affluence.
Of dripping gold and bread..
To feed the mouths of children 
Save the hungry from their dread 

I have a hope of heaven.
Where the generous are free
To liberate the captives
Where compassion is the key 

It's not the stash I'm after.
It's genuinely not.
My rainbow ends with colours
Not some ever roving pot 

I have a dream of fruitfulness 
That though my days are few
I hope  investing wisely,
Is the thing that I can do. 

For wealth is not possessions,
Acquisitions, portfolios or stuff.
It's justice, hope, contentment
It's being just enough 

It's sharing and it's caring.
It's not a hand-out spree..
It's never so a spotlight
Lands itself on me 

Quietly I'll gather 
All the will I can
To be the earthly angel
Out to help my fellow man. 

So when the curtain closes
As I'm sure it will one day
Those seeds that have been scattered
Bearing fruit to plant an orchard;
Feed the hungry on their way
