LIKE COINS IN OUR POCKET
Like coins in our pocket,
Another year we have spent.
Who among us could give account
Of where it all went?
For like coins that soon dwindle
A little here, a little there;
We spend with such ease,
We spend without care.
With no forethought of the sum
We spend with such haste,
Never choosing to remember
How much has been waste.
How much have we spent
Just so self we could please,
Not caring that our giving
Might someone else's load ease?
And what then shall we do
When there's no more to spend?
And what will we have
To show in the end?
And how then shall we answer
For the time God has lent?
Like coins in our pocket
Have we carelessly spent?
