My Jesus

Dont Let your excitement of being youth to forget your Creator! before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say,I find no pleasure in them—
before the sun and the light
and the moon and the stars grow dark,
and the clouds return after the rain;
when the keepers of the house tremble,
and the strong men stoop,when the grinders cease because they are few,and those looking through the windows grow dim;when the doors to the street are closed
and the sound of grinding fades;

when men rise up at the sound of birds,
but all their songs grow faint;
when men are afraid of heights
and of dangers in the streets;
when the almond tree blossoms
and the grasshopper drags himself along
and desire no longer is stirred.
Then man goes to his eternal home
and mourners go about the streets.

Remember him—before the silver cord is severed,
or the golden bowl is broken;
before the pitcher is shattered at the spring,
or the wheel broken at the well,
nd the dust returns to the ground it came from,
and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
