I Have a Wonderful Life

I Have a Wonderful Life I may not have a lot of fameNor a mansion on a hillI have no real fine gifts to giveThere is nothing to reveal.I do not have a lot of wealthBut I have the things I needThere are those who have most everythingWhose lives are full of greed?I have a kind and loving heartWith gentleness doth reignThere are those who have no heart at allAnd send out lots of pain.I have a wonderful spiritThat will never grow jagged or oldThere are those who have no feeling at allTheir days are dark and cold.I have a wonderful pair of legsTo help me get aroundThere are those who have no legs at allTo lift them when they’re down.I have a wonderful pair of armsTo give a hug or twoThere are those who have no arms at allTo feel the love I do.I have a wonderful pair of handsTo let me work and playThere are those who have no hands at allTo help them through the day.I have a wonderful pair of earsTo listen to the rainThere are those who cannot hear at allThe splash upon the pane. I have a wonderful pair of eyesThey have beheld some beautiful sights.There are those who cannot see at allTheir world is black as night.I have a wonderful sense of smellAnd enjoyed the aroma of flowersThere are those who cannot know this joyAnd miss life’s fragrant hours.My life has been a rainbowWith only a bit of strifeToday I counted my blessings I have a wonderful life.Author/Written By:Marilyn Ferguson
