They Had It All Poem by Randy McClave

They never knew that they were poor
They never longed for more,
As they had all that they truly needed
They were never needy or conceded.
They had a roof over their head
And they always food to be fed,
They had clean clothes to always wear
And a loving family who did care.
They spent hours upon hours in the sun
When the chores were all done,
Their life's weren't full of toys or the such
They believed that they already had so much.
They had a loving father and mother
And a caring sister and brother,
And they were never scared or alone
In the house that they all called home.
On love and kindness they were raised
Jesus was always praised,
They were taught how to never be greedy
And to always help the poor and the needy.
They knew not of hate or greed or sin
From what they all felt from deep within,
And they always happily helped and cared for others
With any problems or druthers.
They went to Church every Sunday
And they went to school or to work on Monday,
And they never knew that they were poor as Paul
Because, they knew like him that they had it all.
