Youth keep all your glorious age <br />For length of years in this world you live <br />Learn not in midst of wicked <br />Retain God’s promises unfade <br /> <br />Your life spends more open wide <br />Your strengths still breath at your side <br />Make much of that time <br />Till last to rest is fine <br /> <br />Be not scared whatever be tide <br />Nor to appall when storms abide <br />Patiently face the transient test <br />And you gain wondrous grace <br /> <br />Wind of temptation and urge today <br />Besets unto you day by day <br />From an earthly pleasure vainly play <br />This joy grows dim its fame fade away <br /> <br />Enjoy not all lustful happiness <br />Neglect the wings the desire of evil things <br />Be courteous to walk in heaven appointed ways <br />And yes! You’ll live God’s righteousness <br /> <br />Show off the strength of your youth <br />Be brave to follow the path of truth <br />Gratefully seeking to serve His name <br />The name of God with Holiness remain<br /><br />Rommel Mark Dominguez Marchan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tribute-tribute-to-the-youth/
