If I Were Rich
If I Were Rich
If I were rich, where would I live and why?
Perhaps that would depend on what is rich.
Is rich a state of mind that we apply
to wants, compared to what we have, to which
we wish for more? Suppose new wealth for me
would fill a greater want to move somewhere
away from home? Perhaps live happily
aboard a yacht to languish in the air
of sea with endless waves that splash the shore?
Just sunny skies and cotton clouds to see?
Unwise to change my life for want of more,
when more might lead to lone tranquility.
If I were rich I would not change my ways.
With family close by, live out my days.
