Drinkin' from my Saucer

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!


Thought I'd just share a nice poem. :)


Drinkin' from my Saucer



I've never made a fortune

and it's probably too late now.

But I don't worry about that much,

I'm happy anyhow.


And as I go along life's way,

I'm reaping better than I sowed.

I'm drinking from my saucer,

Cause my cup has overflowed.


Haven't got a lot of riches,

and sometimes the going's tough.

But I've got loving ones around 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 'member times when things went wrong,

My faith wore somewhat thin.

But all at once the dark clouds broke,

and sun peeped through again.


So Lord, help me not to gripe

about the tough rows that I've hoed.

I'm drinking from my saucer,

Cause my cup has overflowed.


If God gives me strength and courage,

when the way grows steep and rough.

I'll not ask for other blessings,

I'm already blessed enough.


And may I never be too busy,

to help others bear their loads.

Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer,

Cause my cup has overflowed.

I'm not sure who wrote this poem, but I just love it! It's a good one to read when you're seeing the glass half empty. :)

I Googled it and it looks like they are lyrics written by Jimmy Dean.

My uncle actually sang this with his guitar at my grandpa's birthday party. It was really nice.
