Treasure In Heaven!

Though I am poor upon this Earth, as many poets are, The Lord above still knows my worth, as if I were a star... For my light shines from East to West, from North to South as well, For I take time to write my best! With such Good News to tell! Though I am poor, I pay my bills, yet this is by God's grace, They say that self-control instills a discipline that stays... While any savings I can find add to my winning streak, God's charity helps me be kind, each day throughout the week... There is a treasure up above, God set aside for me, As if He knew that I would love a mansion property... So all in all, I bide my time... just thanking God each day, Just thinking up another rhyme, beyond the prayers I pray... Let others work, let others fret, I sit down by myself, Not striving for the things they get, nor pining after wealth... But thinking of the finer things that God lays on my heart, In service to the King of Kings who knows I played my part... Though He chose me to write and write, I had no inkling why, Yet ink I use each day and night until the day I die... A century can come and go, till soon, I, too, am gone, Yet God was kind to let me know my poems will live on... Denis Martindale September 2016.
