You Can't Take It With You
By Joe Belotte
You can't take your money
Or "things," it is true.
You can't take your body
Though some say you do.
And memory often
Gets lost on the way.
So you can't even take
An old Happy Day.
So, what can you bring
When you can’t take your wealth?
What can you keep
When you run out of health?
What can you take
When you travel the gulf?
Only your essence
Your spiritual self.
So, know thyself truly.
See deep into friends.
Develop Your Being,
Only that never ends.
