As a young man
I remember the words
that impacted me
Significance
Impact
Legacy
Make a difference
But as I age
as I near the end
of this grand race of life
I'm reminded
of words from scripture,
"Why, you do not
even know
what will happen
tomorrow
What is your
life?
You are a mist, a
vapor
that appears for
a little while
and then
vanishes."
And now I begin to see
that scripture is
right
I've made very little
impact
done nothing
significant
and leave no real
legacy
My life
like every other
is just a vapor
a mist
that disappears
when the sun rises
More clearly than ever
I realize that
Solomon had it right
as he closed his final
book
and wrote,
"Now all has been
heard;
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the duty of all mankind.
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the duty of all mankind.
For God will bring
every deed into judgment,
including every
hidden thing,
whether it is good or
evil."
