A Wise Investment (Poem)
Cleaning out my desk today, I found this poem I wrote more than twenty years ago during my high-school years:
Every day of our lives is a gift from above,
every breath that we breathe is from God.
Days are passed, time is short, and tomorrow is near;
time is best when it's used for the Lord.
Give your life to the Lord in the days of your youth;
build your talents with service in mind.
Youthful lusts are a snare that discourage God's will;
wise decisions are based on his Word.
All is vanity here in this world that we live,
but our citizenship is in heavn'.
Lay up treasure above for eternity waits;
earthly pleasures will vanish away.
The past is a mem'ry, the future a dream,
and the present is all that we have.
So invest in the future, improve on the past;
countless heavenly joys you will know.
