Sharing the Wealth

from: 7-24-2005

No Amount of Money
No amount of fame,
No amount of power
Can keep the grim reaper at bay.

Nothing that you do here
Can protect you from his hand
The secret lies in living
To help the most you can..

For those whose gifts are many
Much more is required
To help the ones less fortunate
And those whose lives are tired.

The truest gifts present themselves
When you stretch forth your wealth
To touch the ones that got you there
And recognize that in yourself.

The gifts of GOD weren’t handed out
In fits of preference,
But given to the ones GOD thought
Would take best care of them.

The poor man found the gift of love
And family that stood fast..
The rich man found the people
That loved him for his wealth..

Which gift contains more value
And which message do you heed,
The gift of love so freely shared
Or the poverty of greed…..
