The moment you were
born you did not bring
A whit beyond the
barest flesh and bone;
You do not really own a
single thing
Belonging to this world
of wood and stone,
And all the stuff that
you accumulate,
No matter what it's
worth to mortal man,
Will still be here when
you leave this estate;
Be grateful for the
things that you possess
For it can all be gone
within a flash;
The only matter you
should dare obsess
Is being more like
Christ, His way suffice.
From nothing bodies come, to nothing go
Yet all you do between your soul will show.
~~~~~~~~~~~
For we brought nothing into this world,
and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
1 Timothy 6:7 KJV
