Remember Thy Creator

“Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth.” Ecclesiastes 12:1

Remember thy Creator,

Before the evil days;

While life is still a challenge,

And passions are ablaze;

Before the light gets misty,

And sight is getting dim;

And all desire for living

Is spiritless and slim.

Remember thy Creator,

Before the cord is loosed;

The thread of life is broken;

The staff no longer used;

When sound of grinding ceases;

With industry complete;

And caskets bearing loved ones

Are carried down the street.

Remember thy Creator,

While memories remain;

Before the shadows deepen,

And life becomes a bane;

Before the soul is yielded,

And flesh returns to dust;

Remember thy Creator,

And make the Lord thy trust.
