What Is

What is it that is always there? 

When we want more of it, there is never enough 
But yet, when we don't 
There is always too much of it 
And we don't know what to do with it all 

We can never find it when we're looking for it 
Still when we wish it wasn't there 
It's always in our way 

The more we need the less we have
The less we want the more we have 

Why has God made it this way? 
Why don't we ever have the exact amount we need? 

And when it's gone 
Why do we wonder what happened to it all? 

Yet we wish we could have more of it 
And less of it in the same moment. 

What is it I am talking about? 
I will tell you when I get the...,,
