All I Need

All I need
Is God
All I want
Is God
All else is a meaningless
Exercise in frivolity
For you can only
Leave this world
With what you came in with

Yes. You're right. All our endeavors pale, as we stand naked, exposed, before the Lord. Well-done, Timothy. Season's best, Gershon

Well said Timothy, those super rich could do so much to help the less fortunate and I get satisfaction knowing that not one penny will they take with them. Hope you have a lovely christmas. Tom.
