484. For his private use

I have only two hands
Which I have used
Millions of times
To give and receive
While I was doing business with God on earth.

I have only two eyes
Which I have used
Millions of times
To admire and be admired
While I was playing with God
In the garden of Paradise.

I have only one heart.
I never use it,
But I always keep it clean
So that if ever God comes in,
I can offer it to Him
For His private use.
