Holding back the good stuff

God will convict us
in the culling of the flock
if we are miserly
with things that are not ours
holding back the good stuff
to make a buck
donations of the bounty
the gifts of God’s love
we are to share richly
the harvest, the fruit
for those in need
we should give joyfully
from the depths of our hearts

the day before our yard sale, where we are going to
give things away to those who have been identified
by the local welfare offices as being in need
