A Poem on Self-control

A Poem on Self-control

A Poem by John Carver

THE FUTURE IS YOURS

John, a poet by the will of God Jesus our Savior
To the young men and women of this age
Which some are but not because I'm superior
Yet due to my age I profess some wisdom and sage

As when little ones you were not allowed certain things
For they made you unmanageable and now not your own
But responsible to the Father and to manage which it brings
To your readiness good works that he has sown

For the body is pure if you make it that for sure
So do not drink things that do not lead to this:
The excitement of the Spirit to endure
As you work signs and wonders in youthful bliss

For self-control is required of such workmen
But be bold in prayer that God might shine on you
And send a miracle to others then
Believe without hesitation, it will be true

Or prophesy or just bear fruit of who comes
For the Father says, "You can do anything
You set your mind to," I say, "In bigger sums,"
But if you have nothing to say when he comes then sing

And listen to what he said there in your voice
But even self-controlled it is your choice.
