there will be less someday
there will be less someday —
much less,
and there will be More;
less to distract and amuse;
More to adore
less to burden and confuse
More to undo
the cluttering of centuries,
that we might view again,
That which star and angels pointed to;
we shall be poorer —
and richer;
stripped–and free:
for always there will be a Gift
always a Tree.
— ruth bell graham
