The Wisdom of Impermanence

Everyone we've ever known and all those things we cherish, like summer hail beneath the sun in God's good time will perish. Things immaterial or tangible, soon slip away or end. Possession's an illusion, and that's a fact, my friend! Fame and fortune are transient. "Success" will come to naught. God alone, can stand against eternal time's onslaught. Each man's days are fleeting. Learn to recognize true worth. Treasures we can see and touch, will soon return to earth. Memories are intangible and only the soul survives and all our souls can carry away are the memories of our lives. If remembrances be full of warmth, you're enriched forevermore and with calmness and serenity, you'll come to judgement's door. Only God goes on forever. Only He will ever be. And only in his loving care, can we survive eternity. Accept what is and know contentment. Learn the truth and you'll be wise. Attain serenity of spirit and true peace you'll realize.
