Meager are my possessions
And I feel very miserable
When I lose even its smallest part.
Without any reason
Like the banks of a river
I want to hold on to the flowing water
In wave after wave
Before it passes
It wounds my heart.
My possessions are meager
Whatever I lose
I lose it forever.
Whatever goes and whatever remains
If I offer you all
Then none is lost
They live in your glory.
In you abide so many suns
In you abide so many moons
Not even an atom is lost -
When I lose my treasure
Won't they remain at your feet?
My possessions are meager
Whatever I lose
I lose it forever.
