Overflowing tea and coffee cups

Do you remember older generations drinking from their saucer?

Drinking from My Saucer
by John Paul Moore

Iโ€™ve never made a fortune and itโ€™s probably too late now.
But I donโ€™t worry about that much, Iโ€™m happy anyhow.

And as I go along lifeโ€™s way, Iโ€™m reaping better than I sowed.
Iโ€™m drinking from my saucer, โ€˜Cause my cup has overflowed.

I donโ€™t have a lot of riches, and sometimes the goingโ€™s tough.
But Iโ€™ve got loved ones around me, and that makes me rich enough.

I thank God for his blessings, and the mercies Heโ€™s bestowed.
Iโ€™m drinking from my saucer, โ€™Cause my cup has overflowed.

I remember times when things went wrong, my faith wore somewhat thin.
But all at once the dark clouds broke, and the sun peeped through again.

So God, help me not to gripe about the tough rows that Iโ€™ve hoed.
Iโ€™m drinking from my saucer, โ€˜Cause my cup has overflowed.

If God gives me strength and courage, when the way grows steep and rough.
Iโ€™ll not ask for other blessings, Iโ€™m already blessed enough.

And may I never be too busy, to help others bear their loads.
Then Iโ€™ll keep drinking from my saucer, โ€˜Cause my cup has overflowed.ย
