Take Nothing

Take Nothing

What do I possibly need

A new car house a new horse breed

How about food and drink galore

Clothes for all seasons oh that scarf does my wife adore

Look a homeless sort

Just give him a talking to a stern retort

Later that day both of us died

At my funeral no one even cried

Many came to see Harry the bum

From all over the city did his friends come

He had nothing and seems to have gotten all

While I who did am now in Hell and forced forever now to crawl

Why do we want stuff we’ll never use

When people live in squaller and horrid refuse

For Heaven begins when we surrender to God

To our Father in Heaven to Whom we should pray aloud

He provides all yes everything He created

All He asks is that we love Him and each other and not practice hatred

Amen
