Drinking From My Saucer

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.

As I go along life's journey,
I'm reaping better than I sowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer
'cause my cup has overflowed.

Ain't got a lot of riches.
Sometimes the going gets rough.
But I got kids that love me,
that makes me rich enough.

I just thank God for His blessings,
and the mercy He has bestowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer
'cause my cup has overflowed.

I remember times when things went wrong
and my faith got a little thin.
But then all at once the dark clouds broke
and the old sun broke through again.

So Lord, help me not to gripe
about the tough rows I have hoed.
I'm drinking from my saucer
'cause my cup has overflowed.

If God gives me strength and courage,
when the way gets steep and rough,
I won't ask for other blessings,
I'm already blessed enough.
And may I never be too busy
to help another bear his load.
Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer
'cause my cup has overflowed.

When I was a kid, I would sit and watch
my daddy drink from a saucer.
Some would say "that's just not good manners!"
If he was living today,
I know what I would be doing right now!
I would be sitting down and having a saucer of coffee with my daddy!
And we would be saying,
"we're drinking from our saucers
'cause our cups have overflowed!"
Happy Father's Day
to all fathers near and far!
