Satisfied Mind

How many times have you heard someone say
If I had his money I would do things my way?
But little they know that it is so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind

Once I was winning in fortune and fame
Everything that I dreamed for to get a start in life's game
But suddenly it happened, I lost every dime
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind

Money can't buy back your youth when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely, or a love that's grown cold
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind

When life has ended, my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones I leave, there's no doubt
But one thing for certain when it comes my time
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
