My dear friends,

  Please, read this piece slowly. It is really beautiful.
I’ve never made a fortune, and  it’s probably too late now.
But I don’t worry about that much,  I’m happy anyhow.
And, as I go along life’s way, I’m  reaping better than I sowed.
I’m drinking from my saucer,  ‘Cause my cup has overflowed.
Haven’t got a lot of riches, and  sometimes the going’s tough!
But, I’ve got loving ones  all around me, and that makes me rich enough.
I thank GOD for  his Blessings, and the Mercies HE ‘s bestowed.
I’m drinking  from my saucer, ‘Cause my cup has overflowed.
I remember times  when things went wrong, My faith wore somewhat thin.
But, all at once the dark clouds broke, and the sun peeped through  again.
So, LORD , help me not to gripe, about the tough rows I  have hoed.
I’m drinking from my saucer, ‘Cause my cup has  overflowed.
If GOD gives me strength and courage, When the way  grows steep and rough.
I’ll not ask for other blessings, I’m.  already blessed enough.
And may I never be too busy, to help  others bear their loads.
Then I’ll keep drinking from my  saucer, ‘Cause my cup has overflowedpoor but happy
