Clay and water Sieved and pounded Moulded and shaped of His hands Why do you then boast? Of these riches and wealth? They were here before you And here they will be When you are no more Of wisdom and knowledge? Acquired and will be required When you are no more Your beautiful skin Nothing but boasting dust Simply dust, safe that first breath Giving in love, and with love If there be any boast Let it be of His second to none
