Poetry
What do working people gain,
From their hard labor in vain;
I have seen mortals weighed down,
As God only wears a frown.
It is nice what God has done,
The beauty that had begun;
Everything falls in place,
The right time He sheds His grace.
A sense of eternity,
Replacing anxiety;
He has put in our mind,
To remain humble and kind.
But mortals still cannot get,
What the Lord is doing yet;
Since the beginning of time,
To stop us from sinful crime.
I know there is nothing better,
Than follow to the letter;
To be cheerful and enjoy,
Rather than to just destroy.
What is good within their lives,
A gift from God that survives;
To eat and drink what is good,
With working hard as you should.
Whatever God does will last,
Forever that He would cast;
Nothing added or removed,
Understanding and behooved.
God does so people will fear,
As to honor and revere;
So what happened in the past,
Memories will still outlast.
In the past is present now,
Of what the Lord will allow;
And what the future will bring,
Can only honor the King.
What happens in the future,
Gives healing at the suture;
That was wounded in the past,
Was caused by a stormy blast.
