Coffins Don't Have Pockets
Many people must think that coffins
have pockets to stash stuff in.
Sorry, no way!  Whatever you have when
you die will go to others my friend!

No need to worry yourself about when you
will leave all your possessions to others!
It's best to use your holdings to help the
less fortunate sisters and brothers.

That is what the Lord would want you
to do and He has spoken on the subject.
But, when it comes to the Lord's way -
too many of us quickly reject it.

Well then, what are some of us to do
who hold on to every dime and penny?
I'd suggest that you help spread the Good News
and help others to Heaven for there are many.

What ever measure you give when you are alive
is what will be given back when you die.
The Lord may very well tell you "Sorry you can't
come to Heaven - you were stingy and that's why."
