DRINKING FROM MY SAUCER

I've never made a fortune, 
and it's surely too late now, 
But I don't worry 'bout that much, 
I'm happy anyhow. 
As I go on life's journey, 
reaping better than I sowed; 
I'm drinking from my saucer ...
'cause my cup has overflowed. 

I don't have lots of riches, 
and sometimes the going's tough; 
But there are kids who love me 
and that makes me rich enough. 
I thank God for His blessings 
and the mercies He's bestowed; 
I'm drinking from my saucer ...
'cause my cup has overflowed. 

I remember bad times 
when my faith got awfully thin, 
But all at once the dark clouds broke 
and sunshine poured right in. 
So Lord, don't let me gripe about 
the tough rows that I hoed, 
I'm drinking from my saucer ...
'cause my cup has overflowed. 

And if God gives me courage 
when the way grows steep and rough, 
I'll want no other blessings, 
I'm already blessed enough. 
And may I always stop 
to help another bear his load ... 

And we'll both drink from our saucers ...
'cause our cups have overflowed !!!
