Biblical Poetry:
Remeber now your Creat0r in the days of your youth,Before the difficult days come,
And the years draw near when you say,
"I have no pleasure in them":
While the sun and the light,
The moon and the stars,
Are not darkened,
And the clouds do not return after the rain;
In the day when the keepers of the house tremble,
And the strong men bow down;
When the griders cease because they are few,
And those that look through the windows grow dim;
When the doors are shut in the streets,
And the sound of grinding is low;
When the one rises up at the sound of bird,
And all the daughters of the music are brought low.
Also they are afraid of the height,
And of terrors in the way,
When the almond tree blossoms,
The grasshopper is a burden,
And desire fails,
For man goes to his eternal home,
And the mourners go about the streets.
Remeber your Creator before the silver cord is loosed,
Or the gold bowl is broken,
Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain,
Or the wheel brokwn at the well.
Then the dust will return to the earth as it was,
And the spirit will return to the God we gave it.
Ecclesiastes 12:1-7
