Like a leaf that falls so are the works of man
They start they grow they blossom and mature
Then they fall…
Everything we do comes to an end
Someday it will all fade away
Sometimes it seems nothing really matters
Only three are the things that last
God His Word the souls of people
God His Word the souls of people
Kingdoms they come then they go
Jobs they’re great then they’re gone
Money it’s here there’s never enough
Spent it’s there on soon-to-be-useless “stuff”
Never to return
Even time it goes so quickly how can it be?
Invest it make the most of every opportunity
Houses Cars Clothes Awards
Spouses Bars Throws and Boards
Wealth Life Music Rage
Health Strife Words on a Page
Tools Fools Vices Devices
Spices Crises Fears Tears
Now they’re here Soon they run
And some spent their whole lives “just havin’ fun”
How dumb
Opportunities to grow
To blossom to mature
Use them Fuse them Don’t confuse them Amuse them
But remember suddenly unexpectedly it comes…
Fall
