Some people have big houses, possibly two cars

I'm content with what I have, just gazing at the stars

Don't need a Blu-Ray disk player, I'm content with DVD

I'm satisfied with what I have, I'm content just being me

Don't need a camera, that will zoom right up someone's nose

I'm content with what I have, capturing what nature shows

I truly don't need a great stereo, that will knock off my socks

I'm satisfied just hearing tunes, coming from my boombox

I don't need a lot of money, just enough to get by

Being rich on what I love, is enough to get me high

I take in Mother Nature's work, the beauty to behold

As all the creatures in this world, begin to unfold

I flow with what's inside, I listen to my soul

Don't need fancy expensive things to make me whole

Give me a book I enjoy, or music that I love

The pleasure is the greatest reward, I'm ever thinking of

Don't need to own a home, or have an expensive car

When I have the greatest love, it's the best by far

The best in love that I have, it is Heaven sent

I'm so very happy with it, I am more than content

Being content doesn't mean that I don't wish for a little more at times,

But it does mean I am content with what I have, and have learned to

adjust and appreciate all I do have. Many times we have all we need

right in front of us. All we have to do is appreciate what it is we do have

and we shall be content.
