The Richest Man
It was a sunny morning.
While I was in my garden,
I saw some things in a new light :

I was lying flat on my stomach
Looking at the unkempt grass
Suddenly I noticed that my garden had little diamonds
And rubies, scattered all around !

Being the sceptic that I am, and I am
Not the only one like that !
I dismissed the sight as some
‘mere droplets of dew shining in the sunlight’!

It was true; they were actually dew drops !!

But as my head moved a little
These rubies shone differently !

I was amused so I started to rotate my head, slowly..
And I swear I saw these ‘droplets’ shine and sparkle
In a riot of colors : silver, green, yellow, blue gold,
Purple and red...

During these fascinating few moments,
I happened to also notice the golden ring
That adorned my middle-aged finger .

This ring, too, shone but I can swear again !
...Not as bright as the little treasure of droplets on my blessed grass !

In this morning light I realised :
I was the richest man on earth !!!

funda is right but convey it in words that go beyond words...i want the feelings to speak for themselves, and not the words to convey the feeling
