Gots

I want what you have got
Because you have what I have not
And as an afterthought
You also want what I have got

Never are we satisfied
With what we're given in this life
When all we think of all the time
Is I want yours and you won't mine

Because you want what I have got
When I have what you have not
And then as an afterthought
I also want what you have got

Yup...our mortal selves want want want. My revelation was when occasion was included in this as I was brooding not being able to “be there” so I had to get over myself on that subject also! Be blessed in this New Year, my wonderful Christian brother!
