Question:

A really old Poem I would like to share, by Tom T. Hall. It is very different from other things he did.?

I??ve never made a fortune
And it??s probably too late for that now
But I don??t worry about that much
I am happy any how
And as I go along life??s journey
I am reaping better than I sowed
And I ??m drinking from my saucer
Because my cup has over flowed

Don??t have a lot of riches
And sometimes the goings tough
I??ve got friend that love me
That makes me rich enough
I remember when things went wrong
And my faith got a little bit thin
But all at once those dark clouds broke
And the sun peaked through again
So Lord help me not to grip
About the tough roads I have hoed
And I ??m drinking from my saucer
Because my cup has over flowed

If God gives me the strength and courage
When the way grows step and rough
I??ll not ask for other blessings
I??m already blessed enough
And may I never be too busy to help
Another to bare his load
Then I??ll keep drinking from my saucer
Because my cup has over flowed

Please, tell me If you like it as much as I do.

I??ve never made a fortune
And it??s probably too late for that now
But I don??t worry about that much
I am happy any how
And as I go along life??s journey
I am receiving more than I gave
And I ??m drinking from my saucer
Because my cup has over flowed

Don??t have a lot of riches
And sometimes the goings hard
I??ve got friend that love me
That makes me rich enough
I remember when things went wrong
And my hope got a little bit thin
But all at once those dark clouds broke
And the sun peaked through again
So please help me not to grip
About the long roads I have walked
And I ??m drinking from my saucer
Because my cup has over flowed

If I can keep having the strength and courage
When the way grows step and rough
I??ll not ask for other another thing
I already have enough
And may I never be too busy to help
Another to bare his load
Then I??ll keep drinking from my saucer
Because my cup has over flowed
