Remember these times


Proverbs 10:7 

The memory of the righteous is a blessing,
but the reputation of the wicked will rot.

 

Remember

 

When thoughts are fleeting in the night they may not return in the morning.

Are they imprints of the past ... or a future yet unseen?

At these times all seems right ... and not set aside for mourning

Although they pass too fast ... like they have never been.

 

The day ahead will surely not ... help me to remember.

Today will have many cares ... precluded of its own.

Until the night will surely bring to remembrance

that little in this world seems fair ... a conclusion long forgone.
