I lost in wealth
But I gained more in health
I feel strong and happy
Like the smiley puppy
Money is a piece of paper
Or a mixture of iron and copper
Happiness is now
Be as joyous as a laughing cow
Enjoy your life, live like
There is no tomorrow
Stay normal and low
Like a smart boxer
Like a strong fighter
Walk, eat, run, drink, box and bike
And take time to rest
Love your friends and neighbors
Don't ever be a pest
Know your limits and borders
Money dries up like ice water
Water evaporates in the air
Like gas, oxygen in the atmosphere
Live like a great fighter
Do not take anything for granted
Adore God not the false prophets
Treat your health better than your pets
Relax, so you can be forever anointed
Being healthy
Is better than being wealthy.
