Respect your parents in all things you can; <br />Revere your teachers, elders, while alive; <br />Remember, you are from dust of earth, man! <br />Return God's love to you, and for this strive! <br /> <br />Just do your duty without wasting time; <br />Take care of health, given by God, priceless; <br />In some way, make your life on earth, sublime; <br />Treasures in heaven await you, boundless! <br /> <br />Do all the good you can without a lull; <br />Avoid all vices that crop up your way; <br />Never turn lazy, indolent and dull; <br />Have faith in God who ushers your D-day! <br /> <br />So, hurry up to be righteous on earth; <br />This is what the Maker wants from your birth. <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 8-6-12<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-hurry-up-man/
