		<title>Nothing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why do I know yet do not
I have every luxury 
Everything I could ever want is at my fingertips
Yet all You require is nothing
&#8230;..no riches
&#8230;..no eloquent speech 
&#8230;..no talents
&#8230;..no age requirement
I desire to serve but do so out of obligation 
Wanting all the praise
You gently whisper &#8220;nothing&#8220;
&#8230;..praise from my peers?
 &#8220;nothing&#8220;
&#8230;..riches?
 &#8220;nothing&#8220;
Lord, let my hearts [...]]]></description>
