In a lost world of me and mine,
Like a handful of pearls tossed toward,
An undeserving, greedy swine.

Or what gifts in death be reward,
Whatever path your faith has trod,
What word and face you use for God.

Possessive shown by apostrophe,
As if all the material things,
Buy gold harp and angelic wings.
