Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Your Three Prizes So Great

We prize so much of the physical
which is really just pure vanity
thinking they'll satisfy your every need
but actually, it all questions your sanity

Our greatest gift is our health
what are we without being well
appreciate God's wondrous gift
look after yourself, protect your shell

Our greatest wealth is our contentment
just to know the peace of heart and mind
to be still knowing such a deep calm
this is a real treasure, who indeed can find

Our best relationship is faithfulness
what price can you put on such a thing?
great to know one that sticks close to the end
a faithful friend always through thick and thin

These three prizes are so very great
appreciate them for your own gain
you may lose them if not careful
wrap them around you out of the rain

(Quote:
Health is the greatest gift,
contentment the greatest wealth,
faithfulness the best relationship - Anon. )
