Not Mine

Not mine The earthly riches I possess now, Is and yet is not mine Which could vanish at any time Perhaps grow wings and take off to the skies Like an eagle Killing my pride and ego Here is wisdom, To put first the heavenly kingdom The mortal body I dress and embrace now Is and yet is not mine Which could vanish at any time Back to dusk, no more to the eyes Forgotten to the people Where’s my pride and ego? Here is wisdom Put first the heavenly kingdom. This life I live now Is and yet is not mine Which could vanish at any time As a flower and the grass dries Once existed, now gone Where’s my pride and ego? Here is wisdom To put first the heavenly kingdom
