What I Have
I am a Have and a lot I've got,
Not as much as many but
More than those who have not.
Riches may come, they will go.
Does the weight of my estate trouble,
Bow me low?
If I gave it all away
Then to The Father began to pray
Would he find my prayers more sweet
Because I begged upon the street?
What I have is mine until its gone.
Given, taken, found, lost,
Sold for a song, what did it cost?
As much as God gives, be it silver or time,
Is what I have, is what is mine.
His allow is what I have
And what I have is here and now.

There are two ways to read this...I like that. Let the reader read into it...as comments have shown.
I prefer the second, myself.
Nice, challenging poem.
