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.

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
