Things

"Things"

In a brief enticing moment,

We dream of things glorious.

Never thinking of others,

But only of our selves.

Seeking only to serve our own,

And thoughts of grandure.

Dreaming of wealth,

Only to be unsatisfied.

Gathering things around us,

Protecting them with zeal.

Loving something not alive,

And selfishly holding them dear.

Praying that we do not loose

These things close to us,

And searching for a reason

When they are gone.

When least expected,

Everything is lost,

And we wonder why

It happened to us.

We should not worship things

As if they were real.

Instead give heart

To those that are.

Be not selfish

When asked to give.

Let your heart rule,

Not your mind.

Do not cry over lost things

For they can be replaced.

Your loved ones are more important,

And should be remembered first.

Love your family and Friends,

And keep them very close.

Never let things come before,

Or you may loose everything.

Choose to live

With love in your heart,

Keeping in mind

What's real and what's not.
