Stuff

Why do we fill our lives with stuff?
Seemingly never having enough.
Then we pass down our values, generations want more,
Why do we do it? Not really sure!
Maybe, just maybe we’re filling a space,
That aching inside us not shown on our face.
Do we just keep on going, and cover the mess
That we’re leaving behind in a land filled with stress.
Or do we open the tin, put away on the shelf,
And get out and share just a sprinkle of self.
So when we see others sink as they struggle to cope,
We could maybe just offer a heart filled with hope.
