Those with least are often
Those with most to share.

Gassho,

Sat. LAH.

I think Nengei nailed the subtlety of this one, but for what it's worth...

So often unseen
Yet the moon
Keeps the tides flowing

Gassho,
Seikan

I found one bright pearl in my pocket
What a treasure! What a joy! How come it was with me all the time and I didn't know?
I saw a friend in need, covered in tears. I gave my pearl to her, she'll need it more than me.
I found a treasure - I gained nothing
I gave my treasure away - I lost nothing.
My heart, One Bright Pearl Inexhaustible in All Ten Directions.
