Gratitude...!

This beautiful poem, 'Drinking from my saucer' by John Paul Moore is a Gratitude Prayer that is more of a Prayer of Empathy and Co-existence, just like a Prayer of Serenity... 

I've never made a fortune,
And I'll never make one now
But it really doesn't matter
'Cause I'm happy anyhow
 
As I go along my journey
I'm reaping better than I've sowed
I'm drinking from the saucer
'Cause my cup has overflowed
 
I don't have a lot of riches,
And sometimes the going's tough
But with kin and friends to love me
I think I'm rich enough
 
I thank God for the blessings
That His mercy has bestowed
I'm drinking from the saucer
'Cause my cup has overflowed
 
He gives me strength and courage
When the way grows steep and rough
I'll not ask for other blessings for
I'm already blessed enough
 
May we never be too busy
To help bear another's load
Then we'll all be drinking from the saucer
When our cups have overflowed...!
