Before I was rich
Before I was rich,
I polished my own shoes,
Washed my own car,
Ironed my own shirts, mowed the lawn,
Fixed my car
Did home repairs
Ate sparingly
Weighed a hundred and forty five pounds
Napped in the middle of the day;
Took Tai Chi
Fenced
Jogged in the park with the stopwatch I bought for twenty dollars at
Feldmar.
Bought a stained glass candle holder in Sausalito for five dollars and skipped
two meals to pay for it.
Before I was rich I was happy in my melancholy, wishing only for love to
make my life complete.
Now I am rich but not in money;
I am rich since I married you;
Rich in love and in happiness.
All else is memory.
