The Wealth I Seek



I do not need to have my way;
I'd rather pray for you.
I hope that you will have a day
Of love that is so true!

I do not pray that I'll be rich,
That's not the wealth I seek.
My wealth is happiness in which
You smile each day and week!

So, tell me how you feel inside;
And share your dreams with me,
Including all the times you cried.
You mean so much to me!
