Drinking From My Saucer.
I've never made a fortune,
and it's probably too late now,
but I don't worry about those things,
'cause I'm happy anyhow.
And as I go along life's way,
I'm reaping better than I sowed,
so I'm drinking from my saucer,
'cause my cup has overflowed.
I haven't got so many riches,
and at times the going's tough,
but I've got some loving friends around,
and that makes me rich enough.
I'm thanking God for His many Blessings,
and the Mercies He's bestowed;
and I'm drinking from my saucer,
for my cup has overflowed.
I know there's times when things went wrong,
and my faith wore somewhat thin,
but all at once the dark clouds broke,
and the sun shone through again.
And may I never be too busy,
to help others bear their load,
I'll have to drink from my saucer,
'cause my cup will have overflowed.
