Observe

Observe

Remember who’s there, 
just before dawn.
Even your shadow will leave, 
when the light is all gone.

In your darkest hour, 
you will know the one.
His ongoing guarantee,
will be all but done.

All flesh and bone,
will render ash and dust.
Your faith will direct,
give way to your trust.

Practice thy preach, 
stay low to the ground.
Judge not one’s cheek,
but be vigilant of sound.
