Whatsoever We Do

“Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.” Ecclesiastes 9:10
****************************************************************

                                            Whatsoever We Do

                                 Whatsoever we do, let us perform
                           With loving care and to the highest norm,
                                As an offering of trust in the Lord
                             To the very last breath we can afford
                          With the frantic flame of faith and passion
                              As in graves lies no shine of devotion.
