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.
