People sometimes have too much,
And "much" may even be a crutch
To fill a "void" or empty place
Which needs some happiness or grace.
Freedom from the weight of "things"
Releases joy... good cheer it brings.
Then we start to realize
That happiness within us lies.
Stuff we own will have a price
But yet for gladness won't suffice.
When we find a happy niche,
Then by joy we are made rich.
"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
Matthew 6:19-21 KJV
