To many
We had nothing
No video games
No X Boxes
No computers
We had no cell phones
No VCRs
DVD players
There wasnt
This latest gadget or that
Left lying on the floor
Or shoved into the closet somewhere
No
It was nothing like that at all
We had only one television
One phone
And an old car
That by todays standards
Was more the size of a bus
We had second-hand furniture
Last years clothes
Or even the years before that
We each had two pairs of shoes
One for school
And one for church
Nothing more
But nothing less
Yes
To many we had nothing
Yet we had the one thing
That money couldnt buy
No manufacturer could ever build
And it seemed that everyone was trying to find
We had love
We had joy
And most of all
We simply had each other
Even in todays world
Could you ever ask for anything more

Happiness doesnt come in a box
It cant be bought on E-Bay
Ordered on Amazon
Or found on the shelf at Wal-Mart
It can only start in ones heart
And is most often found
Where nothing else exists
But a smile
A laugh
And most important of course
Where there is love
We had nothing

No X Boxes
No computers
