A Metaphor of Life

A Metaphor of Life By Elton Camp (Elton4562@Yahoo.com) “For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.” - New King James Version Human life is rightly compared to a mist It’s for only a brief time that we exist Droplets of moisture the fog create An insubstantial and unsteady state It’s dispersal many factors can bring about Few will notice or care, there’s little doubt From where the vapor came we don’t know And as to where it went, the very same is so So it has been on earth since Abel died Both righteous and wicked are cast aside From dust they came and to dust return Everlasting life not one of them can earn But of resurrection, a great deal is said The just and unjust will arise from the dead The Christ an ignominious fate did face The ransom price paid for the human race
