A DELIGHTFUL RESORT
I have fished all the rivers I've swum all the streams,
Been through disappointments that dashed all my dreams
I've done most of the things a man would willingly do,
I've worn many good hats and worn out many a good shoe.
I've seen most of the world but it doesn't matter at all,
Where a man builds his house; how big or how small.,
If you've got peace in your heart and are willing to toil,
Mind your own business and tend to your own soil.
You will find true contentment in just being yourself,
Being generous and loving and forgetful of wealth.
The things you retain are your memories and knowledge,
Of life and its ways that you don't learn in a college.
For the most valuable achievement is contentment of thought,
That turns the personal mind into a delightful resort.
