Death Is Approaching
Death is Approaching......
A major portion of our lives has passed,
and we do not look at our situation.
Our time in this world is limited and brief,
and yet look at our condition.
Where do we stand and what do we do,
for our life in this world is a test.
Do we do what we want, follow our desires,
and spend our life in mere rest?
We delay what’s today for tomorrow,
but tomorrow isn’t certain we forget.
Today is not the day for amusement and beguilement,
for tomorrow, in the grave, we will regret.
When the angel of death will come to us,
and his coming is destined and true,
With nowhere to run, nowhere to hide,
on that day what will we do?
