If I Were Rich

If you were rich, where would you live?
A mansion? A chalet? The jungle?
If you were rich, which car would you have?
A Ferrari? A McLaren? A Lamborghini?
If you were rich, what would you do?
Go on holiday? Ride a ferris? Go on a private jet?

These are the typical answers one might say.
But if I were rich, where would I live?
I would live in a cosy house with family surrounding.
If I were rich, which car would I have?
A car big enough to fit the family and friends.
If I were rich, what would I do?
I would help others in need.

What is it to be rich?
Rich for one is money.
But rich for another is inward.
Being surrounded by poverty, yet the richest person alive.

For me to be rich, I need family and friends.
Family and friends make you happy and rich.
Being rich is when you are comfortable to be you.
Happy and contempt with life!

So being rich is not just money and luxury,
But from the inside out.
Love, family, friends, 
And being filled by the holy spirit, 
Amen

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
