Remember Your Creator
A poor hired labourer,
Or a wealthy contractor;
A road sweeper,
Or a civil engineer;
A biscuits hawker,
Or a business mogul;
A hungry, unkempt and unknown beggar,
Or a well fed, finely turned out and renown president;
Reaching for bright, limitless heights and prospects,
Or groping for dark un-bottomed and hopeless lows;
Remember your Creator
For eternity waits.
This life is not for ever.
Nay, it is but a pilgrimage.
Remember your Creator
In the days of your youth
Before the old and worn traveller
Lays to his rest and reward.
Good or bad, his reward is his just share
Remember your Creator.
