“… Whole world in your pocket …”

Whole world in your pocket 

Hope, Gain, fleeting, fading 

Life slips through 

Whole worlds near and pockets full *

Steel cracked and chipped bewildered too 

Short-lived life

Give way to gain 

Falling apart?  Never sight alone!

[“Breathing in new life every day”]**

The fleeting fades away

That we cannot see lives on and on

Where is his Gain?

Where is her Hope?

Have pockets full

Not lost or slipping through 

Whole world in your pocket , Glimpse poetry by Joe Holuta

About this poem: Whole world in your pocket, is a poem about [Waking up each day and living each day like it’s your first day]. Hold tight to the important and  hold lightly that which passes and fades.

 [Lives bracketed] by Gods kindness, grace, and mercies new every morning. - Joe Holuta

* Luke 9:25 VOICE 

“Listen, what good does it do you if you gain everything—if the whole world is in your pocket—but then your own life slips through your fingers and is lost to you?”

Luke 9:25 VOICE 

** 2 Corinthians 4: 8, 16-18 VOICE

 “We are cracked and chipped from our afflictions on all sides, but we are not crushed by them. We are bewildered at times, but we do not give in to despair.”

2 Corinthians 4:8 VOICE

“So we have no reason to despair. Despite the fact that our outer humanity is falling apart and decaying, our inner humanity is breathing in new life every day.  You see, the short-lived pains of this life are creating for us an eternal glory that does not compare to anything we know here.  So we do not set our sights on the things we can see with our eyes. All of that is fleeting; it will eventually fade away. Instead, we focus on the things we cannot see, which live on and on.”

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 VOICE
