HEALTH IS WEALTH

Of all the things in this whole world,
I value most my health,
Without it I just could not cope,
My health it is my wealth.

Sure I am happy with my lot,
Health, happiness, love and peace,
Each of these they cost me not,
Thank You Lord don`t let it cease.

For eyes that see and ears that hear,
For a heart that`s kind and true,
No amount of money would,
These God-given gifts out-do.

There are some folks who just crave wealth,
Indeed what would it be,
If bad health was so sadly dealth
That wealth could go to sea.

For a love that comes from God alone,
For a peace of mind contented,
I would not change my life at all,
For all the world has invented.
