Eternal Riches

By word and deed

We plant life’s seed

And render to earth’s portal

The tattered lot

Of scattered thought

And offerings fully mortal

But in this blip

Of trip and slip

And moment-scope of living

We touch the sod

With things of God

In humble, gracious giving

Both word and deed

Fail and succeed

Often confusing reason

But if we live

Simply to give

How full the harvest season

How often we seem to err
In the course of daily living
But one thing is certain and sure
We can never do wrong by giving
