Remember man, this earthly life will fade; <br />All glory gained will also vanish fast; <br />Just think about God’s love that had us made; <br />Our achievements will become things of past. <br /> <br />Money cannot give us joys permanent; <br />Our labor needs God’s blessings all the time; <br />God’s earth is where we live as His tenant; <br />We need His grace for success in bad clime. <br /> <br />We needn’t worry about our earthy needs; <br />The soul needs utmost care right from our birth; <br />Good soil alone can sprout good trees from seeds; <br />Our aim must be to reach heavenly mirth. <br /> <br />Let mist of sins not block heavenly gaze; <br />Let’s live a righteous life, with Maker’s grace. <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 08-27-2008<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-our-earthly-life-is-ephemeral/
