Reverence and Respect
REVERENCE AND RESPECT
If it is true,
Wisdom comes with age.
Why suddenly sagacious,
Should we turn another page?
So many things in life,
We just never know.
Please guide me to the path,
Help my life to grow.
The sun rises and then it sets,
Far across the lands.
How does it get back to where it started,
I do not understand.
All streams flow into the sea,
We learned this in school.
Why does it not change,
The seas are never full.
The eyes see so much each day,
A wonder of its own.
Why are they never full,
Of all that we are shown.
The ears are never full,
Of all the things they hear.
What happens to the volumes,
So much, so close, so near.
What do we gain from our labor,
Generations come and go.
The work is still there to be done,
Is all of it for show?
When does the Lamb of God,
Become a full grown sheep?
It truly doesn't matter,
We are His to keep.
