What He Gives He Can Take
Son,take care not to pride in worldly things It is Him who gives and Him takes boldly Daughter,do not boast of beautiful endings He can take everything you treated fondly When others struggle don't call them stupid He who gave you saw it fit to deny them When they do well you at once become livid When they beg you spit at 'em with phlegm That beauty withers like spring rose flowers The shape too is temporal ask your granny Remember to thank the one who bestows Even when you are winning the grammy The adorable family you have belongs to him Like a rented thing,the owner can claim it Like a tenant you cant cling to it or whim For what He Gives, He can take believe it Son,be humble for humility is priceless Daughter,be grateful for it costs less Shun those who are proud and loud Keep my wise words and read them aloud
