GOLD TEETH AND A GOLD HEART

Young man with gold teeth
Flashing big smile with cell phone
Sinister beneath

Strange sight to behold
Vigor of youth newly defined
With mouth full of gold

I was then unsure
How to interpret this scene
Devious allure

Thoughts inside of me
Focused on external signs
That we are worthy

Defined by a thing
No one else claims to possess
Uniqueness it brings

How much I am like
This young man I saw that day
My conscience to strike

Though teeth of gold not
I attempt flash my own smile
To show what I’ve got

Shallow and judging
I find my empty heart to be
Spirit keeps nudging

Let me now behold
People through the eyes of Jesus
Give me Heart of gold
