I Am

I own a little shop in town.
Money comes. Money goes
to the bank, I am told.

It’s all fools gold.

I own a little piece of land.
Reap the crops. Work the fields.
If I can’t feed myself, I steal

from a richer man.

I am no rich man waiting to die.
I am a poor man fighting for life.
Don’t need no bank to make a stand.

No rich man’s shoes to be a man.

I am a little piece of God
He is mine. I am his.
Intertwined like a kiss

from a woman’s lips.

I am no rich man waiting to die.
I am a poor man fighting for life.

I'm short on money, long on time.

This nickel's gonna be a dime.

faith must be exercised.

“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?" Matthew 6:24-26
