Things, <br />People pray for. <br />Things, <br />People have. <br />Things, <br />All around the people. <br />And things they have make them sad. <br />Things, <br />They ask of God to give. <br />Things, <br />They get don't please. <br />And when they realize it's not things they need... <br />That touch that is desired and wanted, <br />Has come to leave... <br />Them! <br />With their things! <br />And a generous offering, <br />Felt... <br />Of an emptiness collected!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
