Bag of Coins
By my bed each day sits a bag of coins
I can choose how to spend them each day.
When I was young the bag was full
So I threw most of them away.
As the years drifted by there were fewer gold coins,
So more selective I became, you see.
For how I spend these valuable coins
Is really all up to me.
These coins represent the energy I have
That is less as the years slip by.
How I spend these valuable coins
Will bring happiness or sadness to I.
So with age comes wisdom so I'll now decide
How to spend my coins today.
I will choose what's good, true, and right
And not throw my coins away.
