Like coins in our pocket,
Another year we have spent.
Who among us could give account
Of where it all went?
For like coins that soon dwindle
A little here, a little there;
We spend with such ease,
We spend without care.
With no forethought of the sum
We spend with such haste,
Never choosing to remember
How much has been waste.
How much have we spent
Just so self we could please,
Not caring that our giving
Might someone else's load ease?
And what then shall we do
When there's no more to spend?
And what will we have
To show in the end?
And how then shall we answer
For the time God has lent?
Like coins in our pocket
Have we carelessly spent?

Jer, another wonderful work from you! I like questions in a piece that make you think. And this sure did! It's so true! So very true!

Deeply affecting....

A soul that writes from the heart and shares it, truly gives a gift extraordinaire!

Tis another wonderful poem...thank you!

~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~
