Ecclesiastical Proverb

I want to stay for my family 

I yearn to stay for His glory 

But this world 

Has more sorrows than history 

Each day is filled with trouble 

A man consumed with misery 

Each day I search for my heart through the rubble 

Complaints and immaturity and selfishness double, no, triple, no quadruple 

Do I stay or do I go? 

Will one drop from the ocean cause the fire to slow? 

Will one eaten leaf inflict death on the tree? 

After death we all become memories

Replaced by something that placates the pain 

Like the ash, we melt in the rain 

Because the thought of us no longer is joyous, rather pain 

i hope i die warmed, by the life that i tried to live.
