Setting Aside For a Rainy Day
To prepare for the rain
Is important to every man;
Able to meet his needs,
Doing everything he can.
Look at the ants,
Storing up food in summer;
Not to be caught off guard,
Nor hungry during winter.
But more than ensuring
A life in contentment;
One should prepare for
The day of judgment.
Everything on earth
Shall be burned by rains of fire;
Even the arch of the sky
Shall be destroyed by God's ire.
Collect the bread of truth,
Deposit the Almighty's word;
Reserve food for the soul,
In one fold you'll be able to hoard.
Plan to be ready,
Now that the end is nearer;
It is of utmost value
To heed God's messenger.
A message of caution
From the bird of prey;
Hence, the famous phrase:
Setting aside for a rainy day.
