Ecclesiastes 1:4
“One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abide for ever.”
Book of Life
by Robert Keiling
Man Art Dust and to Dust Man Shall Return
Like Misty Rain to the Raging River
And the Raging River into the Peaceful Endless Sea
My eyes have been witness to both
Held a newborn and heard her first cry
Held the drying and heard the last goodby
In life I have walked upon lofty clouds and laughed aloud
Touching the earth one last time before I die
Yet I Arise and face the day with first light of the sky
My arms have withered my bones have dried
Windswept I inch closer to the edge
Snapping the fragile branches of late in life
Storm after storm pull my last green leaf into the Raging River
and back to the Peace of the Eternal Sea
Witness to God’s Glory On Earth
