Discovering one’s own riches

I lived on the shady side of the road
And watched my neighbours gardens across the way revelling in the sunshine.
I felt I was poor
And from door to door went in my hunger.
The more they gave me from their careless abundance the more I became aware of my beggar’s bowl.
Till one morning I awoke from my sleep
At the sudden opening of my door
And you came and asked for alms.
In despair I broke open the lid of my chest
And was startled into finding my own wealth.
