Desire and Death
Human desires are never satisfied,
we always want more.
That's the way we are and it
runs deep into our core.

We strive to get what we want, then
we want something else right away.
Our human nature is just made
that way.

Another thing that is never satisfied
is death, it's always around.
Sure as the sun shines, death
is easily found.

We cannot escape death,
that is a certainty.
It's part of life - we live
then we die - that's reality.

While we are here, we need to pray for
help  with our desires and even death.
The Lord we can ask Him to be with
us 'til and after our last breath.
