They Had It All

They never knew that they were poor They never longed for more, As they had all that they truly needed They were never needy or conceded. They had a roof over their head And they always food to be fed, They had clean clothes to always wear And a loving family who did care. They spent hours upon hours in the sun When the chores were all done, Their life's weren't full of toys or the such They believed that they already had so much. They had a loving father and mother And a caring sister and brother, And they were never scared or alone In the house that they all called home. On love and kindness they were raised Jesus was always praised, They were taught how to never be greedy And to always help the poor and the needy. They knew not of hate or greed or sin From what they all felt from deep within, And they always happily helped and cared for others With any problems or druthers. They went to Church every Sunday And they went to school or to work on Monday, And they never knew that they were poor as Paul Because, they knew like him that they had it all. Randy L. McClave
