This poem by Jessie B. Rittenhouse titled "My Wage" is something to think about when you wonder about what your financial life could be. This poem is featured in the popular book Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill. I would highly recommend this read for your personal development. This one book has changed many lives. Here is the poem:
My Wage
"I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.
For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.
I worked for a menial’s hire
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid."
