Reminders of the King

Reminders of the King

A Poem by PoetryofProvidence

Oh vain man who casts his will

do not you know that all plans laid

with hope to control the flow of spill

molded the breath who universe has made

 

Know you not that time and chance

the one who has formed your clay

can be changed upon his glance

has allowed you to have your way

 

Bright hope is man with Plan

and like scroll his plan is written down

but He can spoil what thinks in hand

and take away thy hoped for crown

 

One hopes for toil to earn it's pay

with justice the scales to be fair

but grasping men seem to get their way

and have penciled more than is their share

 

In a book so written by a king

the vanity of man within is written down

in thought did he examine everything

and for all the resting place is ground

 

That to undertake a task you do with soul

and take joy within the charms of wife

to keep his law with heart thats whole

for this the vanity of your life

 

Ecclesiastes
