Poetry
My Precious
My pockets are empty, but not my soul
For I do not chase for money as a fool
My riches come from our Lord above
They are a gift, a gift of Our Father’s love
Though what I have received cannot be sold
It is more precious and more valuable than gold
The sparkle of rubies and the shine of silver
Nothing I desire compares to what God can deliver
What is this asset to which I always cling?
What market price can this item bring?
Does it have a tag or come with a price
Is this wonder pretty or is it very nice?
What can I value that is more than gold?
What can it be that it is given, not sold?
It is the wisdom given from the Mighty Lord
It is this heavenly treasure that I hoard

My pockets are empty, but not my soul--This is a great beginning for this poem. An empty soul is a wretched thing. The souls of the redeemed are indeed full. Thomas
The Lord and our Father truly are more precious than diamonds and more valuable then gold. We are blessed with riches far greater than those here on earth. Psalm 37:16 tells us, "The little that a good man owns is worth more than the wealth of all the wicked..." Matthew 19:23&24 say, "Jesus then said to his disciples, 'I assure you: it will be very hard for rich people to enter the Kingdom of heaven. I repeat: it is much harder for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle.'" May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ bless you with grace and peace. Keep your eyes focused toward heaven and continue writing to glorify Him! Best wishes.
