Worthless Grain – v2

Barns, full, bursting

the harvest not shared

gathered to the edges

the rich man’s treasure

Stored for a lifetime

no cares, yet not enough,

wanting more, bigger barns

more stocked up, gathered in

All of it worthless, the grain

his possessions, all he had stored

worthless before God,

come for an accounting of his life

Where was his heart, his charity

the treasures that he kept

stored up grain, for himself

useless on that judgment day
