Poetry
Pay off your debts as they come due,
Do not let the interest accrue;
But one debt you cannot repay,
The debt that Christ pays off each day.
You cannot pay the debt of love,
That does flow from the bank above;
The debt that you owe each other,
To those who love one another.
In your leisure and your labor,
Remember to love your neighbor;
Showing that you do always care,
And that you are willing to share.
When faced with in the midst of strife,
Love would make you lay down your life;
For the greatest gift of them all,
With picking them up when they fall.
Love cannot do you any harm,
Giving you comfort not alarm;
For love fulfills what Moses taught,
With commandments the words have wrought.
You know the times we are living,
For God is good and forgiving;
But no time to smell the flowers,
We do not have many hours.
The night has gone and the day nears,
In which a nonbeliever fears;
So do away with anything,
That the darkness loves to cling.
