In a few weeks, we are having an auction here.

by Dr. Anthony Murphy writer

In a few weeks, we are having an auction here.

It's ours and we are selling things that were once so dear.

It makes you realize that all we have is only on loan.

Now disposing of them, I'm not going to moan.

Everything that we were blessed with over the years,

will be auctioned off, and I won't shed a tear.

I realize they were there for my pleasure then,

As I see them auctioned off, I'll try to remember when.

When I obtained that treasure and enjoyed for a season.

Now I no longer want it, and that's the reason.

This auction that will sell all our collected stuff.

We all get to the point where we say, 'enough is enough'.

We can't take it with us, and I wouldn't want to try.

I also know we wouldn't want it in the sweet bye and bye.

Everything that I held so dear in days gone bye now.

I will relinquish with relief and gratitude now, that's how.
