Vanity Upon Vanity
?what is this life,
if all we do is acquire it’s wealth and forsake the master above?
I do not seek that all should comprehend,
but heed the kings advice…
“vanity upon vanity, all is vanity”.
Everyday life brings to us numerous challenges,
press on brethren, they are only temporal.
they are here to make us and not break us.
Take the bull by its horn,
live each day with your eye focused on the goal;
that heavenly prize.
the time is now, it waits for no man.
make hay while the light still shines,
because at the darkest hour…
the flames may be gone.
