My dear friend, Anne, was cleaning bookshelves and came across this poem. She shared it with me. I love it.
These Things I Know:
I have planted a garden,
so I know what faith is.
I have seen birch trees
swaying in the breeze, so
I know what grace is.
I have seen a morning without
clouds, after showers,
so I know what beauty is.
I have read a book beside
a wood fire,
so I know what contentment is.
I have seen the miracle of
the sunset, so I know what
grandeur is.
And because I have perceived
all these things, I know
what wealth is.

I know you could add your own list of 'wealth-making' experiences.

Marianne!
Yes! Yes! I knew you would enrich this poem with your rich life experience . . . my friend :-)
I have endured 5 months of winter, so I know what hope is...
A very nice poem and my comment is not a fitting addition. But it is true (and was the first thing that come to my mind).
Ruth! That is beautiful. Perfect. Thank you.
