strength for the day....light for the way

I found myself reading Ecclesiastes 9 this morning.....hence this poem!

Here we all are,

Under the sun.

The race is soon over,

Almost before it's begun!

 

Life down here,

Can't be figured out.

Yet I want to live,

To sing, to shout!

 

To live with zeal,

Giving God my all,

When the trump shall sound,

I'll answer its call!

 

To live each day always

Clothed in white...

Ready to go

To the celestial light!

 

Wisdom is better

Than riches or gold.

Live life with joy,

A merry heart cannot be sold.

 

It's not only the rich,

The strong, or the swift,

To whom God has given

His most precious gift.

 

He gives it us!

Poor, foolish man.

To all those who choose

To accept His great plan.
