That which cannot be taken away
For better or worse (be that as it may),
my life long, desperately have I sought
that which cannot be taken away --
the enduring aspect, the intended-to-stay.
To quell the sorrow my flesh has brought –
for better or worse (be that as it may)
I’ve chased that which time will not betray,
the eternal portion truth has wrought –
that which cannot be taken away.
My lifelong quest and still I pray,
grasp and cling and gather naught,
for better or worse (be that as it may)
the treasure my heart and mind assays,
the prize for which I’ve labored and fought –
that which cannot be taken away.
The nugget hidden in the grit and clay
(which still I seek and have life long sought) –
for better or worse (be that as it may) –
is that which cannot be taken away.
