survival

when death comes calling
will we have our luggage packed
loaded with toys and trinkets
and gold to buy our peace...
newspaper clippings and plaques
to impress saints peter and paul
by decorating the halls and chambers
of our mansion built on high...
pictures of our loved ones
to place upon our desk
along with letters from our sweetheart
to put a smile upon our face...
girl scout cookies
to ease the hunger
extra golf balls for water holes...
but alas the chariot waiting
is just large enough for a soul...
all material treasures
are left
behind to remember us by...
the only thing surviving
is love...
