Anticipated Riches

My hands are empty
My pockets bare
Yet my heart is overflowing

It’s filled with love
To always share
It remains forever growing

No clothes of silk
Nor gold adorned
Is needed for my purse

Follow prophesies
Just as warned
To satisfy my thirst

As word be spread
Upon the land
Of the truth, the saving light

With head held high
And outward hands
I await the true birthright
