Everything in life is passing
and whatever we possess
cannot endure forever,
but ends in nothingness.
For there are no safety boxes,
nor vaults that can contain
The possessions we collected
and desire to retain
So all that man acquires
Be it power , fame or jewels
Is but limited and earthly
Only "treasures made for fools"
For only in God's Kingdom
can man find enduring treasure
Priceless gifts of love and beauty-
more than mortal man can measure
And the "riches" he accumulates
He can keep and part with never.
For only in God's Kingdom
Do our treasures last forever
So use the word forever
With sanctity and love
For nothing lasts forever....
but the love of God above.

Dedicated to my brother Ed, his treasures were not stored on the earth,
But rather in heaven , by giving to the poor and needy.
He would literally give you the shirt off his back.
