Life is a gift from God
God provides you seven days a week
To spend time as you please
Don't waste your life.
Use your time wisely
Spend the 60 minutes an hour wisely.

Visit the graveside one day
Read what's written on tombstones
A Name, a date of birth , a short epitaph
A dash between the date of birth
And the date of death
Life is brief then comes death.

Death is an unwelcome guest
That knocks on every door
Death  brings sadness and sorrow of heart
no one wants to part
From their loved ones but
Death has no heart.

Paul looked death in the eye and was not afraid
For him "... to live was Christ to die was gain..."
Paul was not afraid of death
He had the hope of the resurrection
Knowing that "... if a man die he shall live again !..".
