The Wisdom of Impermanence


Everyone we've ever known and all those things we cherish like summer's rain beneath the sun in God's good time will perish. Things material or tangible, soon slip away or end. Possession's an illusion and that's a fact, my friend! Fame and Fortune are transient, " success" will come to naught, God, alone, can stand against eternal time's onslaught. Each man's days are fleeting. Learn to recognize true worth. Treasures that we can see and touch, will soon return to earth. Memories are intangible and only the soul survives and all our souls can carry away are the reflection s of our lives. If remembrances are full of warmth, you're enriched forevermore and with calmness and serenity you'll come to judgement's door. Only God goes on forever only He will ever be and only in His loving care, can we survive eternity. Accept what is and know contentment. Learn the truth and you'll be wise Attain serenity of spirit and true peace you'll realize.
