I am rich by Carrie Harris I am rich, though I have little money My eyes see My ears hear My lungs breathe My legs walk Why then do I complain? Why do I seek the things I cannot have? Money cannot buy happiness It can buy only a brief respite So many in this world don't have what I have How then can I say I am poor? I am rich, though I have little money
A note from the author I wrote this poem in 2004, after receiving a copy of a poem written by a blind girl. In the poem, she expressed her desire to see the moon, if only once. It got me thinking about how much I have that I take for granted. In response to the poem this girl had written, I penned this poem to tell God that I was grateful for what He had given to me.
