The "I" in Rich


I have no money,

yet I am wealthy

I have a culture, a family,

and friends who support me.

I may not have paper or coins, shiny and green,

But I do have my smarts that's all that I need.

There's no need to fret

about my lack of paychecks,

Because I know they will come, 

once I find what I love.

I live for the day when they realize,

that there's an I in rich and rich in I.
