The Sorrow In Pleasure
It is a shame to have money and never enjoy it
It is disappointing to have power and never use it
It is pain to have people and never feel loved
It vanity to have the world and not its maker
It awful to be full, but never satisfied
It is pathetic to have men on your side but not God
It is terrible to have brooches and not know
It is troubling when we have been good to men but not God
It is meaningless to have life and not know who gave it
It is scary if all that is contained in your heart is blood
What is it then sorrow or pleasure?
Sorrow is sour but not always sorrowful
Sorrow in God makes you sore higher and higher
Pleasure is sweet but not always pleasurous
True pleasure is from the right hand of God the Father
So I conclude;
It is tragedy when you have God, but never acknowledge him
But the biggest tragedy is to die and God wants you to live
