Britches Treasures Earth Vs Heaven
Britches Treasures
Earth VS Heaven
By: Tom Wright
6/11/98
Because of his ego but mainly greed,
"Britches" Endured much while chasing gain.
He stockpiled things he did not need,
putting loved ones in great strain.
As He glances backwards toward his birth,
life's accomplishments along with gain.
Now with his days numbered here on earth,
will soon be others, he won't remain.
"Britches" greatest possession on that day,
not earthly things though they be much.
But what his Lord and Savior will say,
you've lived for me and felt my touch.
I gave earthly gifts beyond compare,
for treasures in Heaven "Britches" did lay.
While some may reason life is not fair,
there'll be much rejoicing that day.
