Everything of worth you've contemplated
Has been appropriated.
Stolen time and stolen pleasures
Are terrible treasures.
Curses and not blessings, mere window dressings
You can't steal into the Kingdom- You seek it by your life's bent.
For what you focus on most in life will become evident.
A final obedience, perpetual resolution
A stake driven for all of time- a clean and clear solution.
The gates of the Kingdom are in a garden
Gethsemane is its name
The place where our will and God's will
Become one and the same.
