James 4:14 What is life ? It is as a vapor
appearing for a while then vanishing

Job 14:1 Man is of few days, he comes
forth like a flower and fades away

Man  Is  Of  Few  Days

Life is like a morning vapor
Zapped away by a warming sun
Summarily, it's the humble labor
Of spirit and body on a trial run

Quickly fleeing like a feather
Caught in a gale March wind
Life at birth escapes it's tether
Alpha and omega is all a blend

Let life's race not be a teardrop
Welling with sorrows of the day
Hastily filling to earthly flop
Leaving sadness flowing away

In life's brevity before parting
Spend your moments not in vain
Relish God's gifts abounding
Dwelling not on earthly stains

Do for others so love they savor
Conquer self for evading sin
Be humble vain pride disfavor
Body will lose but spirit must win
