The Treasures Of Heaven
I search in the world
For something....
Wealth.... Health....
Wisdom.... Integrity...
None pleases me.
For wealth,
Even though it builds up...
Be
Let not the sands of time destroy your memory
For it is there that those we love do truly live
When you remember things about them do not hold back
But live them to the full
For that is how we mend our hearts
Be at peace when time allows you
Know that God in all his glory has a plan for you
