Seem To Always Need More

Seems like we can’t live without money

We seem to always be in need

If only money grew on a tree

Things would be ok, but I guaranty

We would need more

Say we are going to a camping trip

We would need sleeping bags, for four

We need food, can’t forget the chips

We need a tent, ice chest and pillows

We need to buy lanterns, don’t forget

Hope there’s an outhouse with windows

We need to buy a mosquito net

I know we need others things

But I admit

I forget

When we get to the place

We will need to buy more

For just in case

I releases this trip has just become a chore

And I don’t have any more money

Kids asking me for things they need

I tell them sorry, honey

Wishing I could give more

 But you can’t squeeze blood out of a turnip

It never ends!

 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

Philippians 4:12
