We have, but
What do we have?
What of real importance?
Some will claim earthly possessions
In reality they are mostly frivolous
Shelter, food, and water
Are important elements
We do not need much more
In earthly treasures
What we have that counts
Is our care for others
Our love for others and
Willingness to sacrifice
And give what we have to others
The fullness of life comes from
These gentle acts of giving
When we realize this and
Come to grips with it
We find what we are looking for
The priceless gift of joy
