THE RICHNESS OF LIFE


The richness of life is not money
Nor is it the things we count as gain
It's not the power we hope to acquire
Nor is it the prestige we strive to attain.

The richness of life is true Friendship
It's good health and peace of mind
It's a deep and abiding faith in God
It's a friend who is loyal and kind.

The richness of life is a home that's warm
It's full of love with a family who cares
It's a tender touch from someone dear
And their feelings with you they share.

The richness of life is everlasting hope
It's a feeling that will never depart
It's not in any material things
But it's what we keep in our heart.

The richness of life is serenity
It's harmony and goodwill
Not turning your back on your fellow man
But showing him a love that is real.

The richeness of life is given to us
In many ways, shapes, and forms
It's an understanding we all have
It helps us to weather the storms.

Hi Chee Chee,

I think this is a wonderful poem to start the new year. It's nice to know that we have so many things in life that is the actual wealth instead of the material stuff. When a new year begins, we should reflect on those moments that came our way and left its purpose to carry on with life. Thanks Chee Chee for those reflections through your beautiful poem. God bless you and all those you love.

Truly, of all the treasures we may lay up on this earth, friends are greatest! Strange to say, it takes some folks many years before they realize the worth of this non-materialistic gift. Prosperity will make many friends for us, however adversity winnows out the real friends from the seeming ones. The real friends simply show up in times of need: unasked and unlooked-for; and while we may have fewer friends than we'd like to think, we all have far more than we even know!

Thoughtfully and wonderfully demonstrated in verse, Chee Chee! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOURS!

Thank you sweetie for taking the time to read this!! And you are absolutely right ~ we have more friends than I'm sure any of us are aware of!!! But the true friend is always there!!! They simply know when they are needed and we never have to ask them of anything ~ they always give!!! That old saying, "You're lucky if you have one true friend in your lifetime." I was blessed with two and now the Lord has called them both home!! They were so very dear to me!!! Yes, I have many friends and hopefully I will be blessed once again with a true blue friend!!! I do hope your mother is doing better and I still have her in my prayers!!! God Bless You sweetie, and thanks again for leaving a comment!! Hugs ~ Chee :-)

We have many blessings to be thankful for that's for sure! And some of us it is in the material !!! But what is truly important is the blessings we have in friendship and love towards one another! At least that's how I feel !! Glad you liked it Marlys!! :-) Thanks sweetie for reading it and leaving a comment! Hugs ~ Chee :-)
