Youth
Youth think of God and follow Him,
Praising Him for those gifts that He has given you;
Eyes to see that which He has created,
And ears to understand that which is spoken;
Arms to protect you
And legs to hold you firm upon the ground.
For the courage
And desires,
That belong to you.
.
With the help of these
Follow Him closely while you are able.
For soon your bodies,
your strengths,
Will have returned to the dust
from which they came,
And your soul will return to the Lord.
Be sure that it is worthy.
.
A rewrite of
Eccessiastes 12:1-7
from today's viewpoint.
