Setting Aside For a Rainy Day

To prepare for the rain Is important to every man; Able to meet his needs, Doing everything he can. Look at the ants, Storing up food in summer; Not to be caught off guard, Nor hungry during winter. But more than ensuring A life in contentment; One should prepare for The day of judgment. Everything on earth Shall be burned by rains of fire; Even the arch of the sky Shall be destroyed by God's ire. Collect the bread of truth, Deposit the Almighty's word; Reserve food for the soul, In one fold you'll be able to hoard. Plan to be ready, Now that the end is nearer; It is of utmost value To heed God's messenger. A message of caution From the bird of prey; Hence, the famous phrase: Setting aside for a rainy day.
