Our Ephemeral Life On Earth

Like how the heavens open bringing rain, God’s blessings will too shower, once again, In His own time and in His divine ways, And make our life on earth happier in pace! A little strife can make our face sullen; A little suffering can life, dullen; A little wait is all God wants of us; A little patience brings us endless bliss! Why should we fret and fume and cry in haste? Why should we call our life a total waste? All things on earth are transient in type; Our joys in life bestow on us some hype. This earth and heaven shall all pass away, And come will Jesus Christ on Judgment Day; A new heaven and earth, He will usher, Rewarding righteous souls in great measure. Why don’t we praise the Lord in times of strife? Why shouldn’t we thank Him for our unique life? Why do we grumble, mumble, murmur then? Our life on earth is meant to gain heaven!
