Contended are the happy folks
who know when they've enough
And do not complicate their lives
with lots of extra stuff,
For if you have more than you need
it takes a lot of care
To keep those things all up to snuff
and causes wear and tear.

I'd like to whisper in the ear
of those whose lives are blest;
'Please spread a little love around
while feathering your nest.'
It's easy to accumulate
a bit of extra cash
and save it for a rainy day
in case the markets crash.

But there are foks who travel on
and bear a heavy load
And they could use a bit of help
while trudging down life's road.
And it would please the Lord a lot
if you'd share of things you've got
I know you'd be rewared
with a heart that hums and sings.
