A Satisfied Mind

How many times have you heard someone say
 "If I had his money, I could do things my way"
 But little they know, it's so hard to find
 One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind
 Once I was living in fortune and fame
 Everything that I dreamed of to get a start in life's game
 Then suddenly it happened, I lost every dime
 But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind
 'Cause money can't buy back your youth when you're old
 Or a friend when you're lonely or a love that's grown cold
 The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
 Compared to the man with a satisfied mind
 When life has ended, my time has run out
 My friends and my loved ones I'll leave, there's no doubt
 But one thing for certain when it comes my time
 I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind
