Pink Roses

I have seen the world and been of the world. Only, every bite of the world begot more hunger.  
I have worn pants and climbed as far as the ladder. With a full-on career in service, I feel most empty even with a positive balance in the account.  
 
My dreams are now of pink roses; a small country house by the lake facing the mountain, a partner to keep me laughing and these beautiful triplets complete my joy!"  
 
I had thought to feed the world. Instead, the world made a feast on me.  
 
It's only in My Lord Jesus Christ I'm sate.
