Wanting

Wanting
By Larry Linville

Wanting something too much
is the best way of losing it.

Your obsession with it
leads you to abusing it.

Check your motivation
in your choosing it.

Hanging on too tight
might cause your bruising it.

Your sense of values may
cause your confusing it.

“Those who try to make their life secure will lose it,
but those who lose their life will keep it.” Luke 17:33 (NRSV)
