A Fool And His Money
Paratrooper’s combat PAY, near twice that of regular,
‘LOADED’ upon discharge - I r e j o i c e d in the secular!
THEN one night’s sleep in a YMCA: All savings STOLEN!
NOTHING left but what I’d kept in wallet I slept upon!
WHAT WISE MAN said: a fool and his money are soon parted?
Unwisely I projected THAT fool, suffered as it departed!
THEN I considered placing trust in GOD the supplier,
EVERY NEED! And THEN some. So my heart no longer CRIES…
For money. That wealth that perishith MY Provider
SUPPLIES! As He promised: “ALL needs” and consider
I need NO more, as Father smiles and bestows freely
“Riches and Glory by Jesus Christ” I AM NO l o n g e r NEEDY!
ALL THAT I NEED I now FIND in Jesus: S a v i o u r, Friend!
And He’s promised to keep supply to the very e n d!
WHAT END? There is NONE! Sure life goes ON FOREVER!
IN HEAVEN NO e n d at all and NO DEATH to sever!
EXAMINE GREATNESS of my God! Oh, He c a n be YOUR God, too!
IF YOU confess, believing what more can you DO…
BELIEVE on Jesus to Redeem you!
KNOW t h i s AS THE CONSUMATE T R U E!

More! More! More!
So much wisdom I see in you. Write some more! Your poem encouraged me so much. I never know when I go to work each day if it will be my last. Your poem was a reminder for me that all I need is Jesus, He will meet every need I have and then some like you said. I read Psalm 46:10 this morning and WOW did He ever show His power to me today! Thank you for writing!
Thank you for the beautiful poetry Sam! We are blessed that you share it with us. I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been to have everything stolen from you. Thank goodness the Lord provided in your time of need. You seem to have great hope in life. I want to carry that kind of hope with me as well.
Wow! Your poetry is awesome Yes God supplys all our needs.. I am also a witness. thankyou
