I Don'T Have, But I Have Poem by Connie Webb

I Don'T Have, But I Have



I don’t have gold or diamonds.
I don’t have a fancy car or a car at all.
I don’t have my wallet full of money.
I don’t have degrees hanging upon my wall.
But...
I have the long walks along the ocean.
The flowers blooming brightly in the sun.
The moon lighting up the sky at night.
A cozy place to sleep when day is done.

I have love for my family and friends.
I have love for nature and humanity.
I enjoy my life as it is.
And most of all I have serenity.

So if you don’t have those fancy things in life,
Don’t let any of it get you down,
Just open your eyes to all you do have
And that will turn your frown around.

Very well said Connie, and I have always said that in life, think of your own treasures within your hearts, before you count the have nots and dont haves..... If you have your health, that is your wealth in my world... I enjoyed reading this... Bonnie
