I've never made a fortune
and it's probably too late now
But I don't worry about that much
I'm happy anyhow
![](poetry/mysaucerfly.gif)
And as I go along life's way
I'm reaping better than I sow
I'm drinking from my saucer
'cause my cup has overflowed
![](poetry/mysaucerfly.gif)
Haven't got a lot of riches
and sometimes the going's tough
But I've got loving ones around me
and that makes me rich enough
![](poetry/mysaucerfly.gif)
I thank God for his blessings
and the mercies He's bestowed
I'm drinking from my saucer
'cause my cup has overflowed
![](poetry/mysaucerfly.gif)
O, Remember times when things went wrong
My faith wore somewhat thin
But all at once the dark clouds broke
and sun peeped through again
![](poetry/mysaucerfly.gif)
So Lord, help me not to gripe
about the tough rows that I've hoed
I'm drinking from my saucer
'cause my cup has overflowed
![](poetry/mysaucerfly.gif)
If God gives me strength and courage
When the way grows steep and rough
I'll not ask for other blessings
I'm already blessed enough
![](poetry/mysaucerfly.gif)
And may I never be too busy
to help others bear their loads
Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer
'cause my cup has overflowed
