The Sorrow In Pleasure

It is a shame to have money and never enjoy it It is disappointing to have power and never use it It is pain to have people and never feel loved It vanity to have the world and not its maker It awful to be full, but never satisfied It is pathetic to have men on your side but not God It is terrible to have brooches and not know It is troubling when we have been good to men but not God It is meaningless to have life and not know who gave it It is scary if all that is contained in your heart is blood What is it then sorrow or pleasure? Sorrow is sour but not always sorrowful Sorrow in God makes you sore higher and higher Pleasure is sweet but not always pleasurous True pleasure is from the right hand of God the Father So I conclude; It is tragedy when you have God, but never acknowledge him But the biggest tragedy is to die and God wants you to live
