Memory

Luke 17:32 Remember Lot’s wife.

My mind is slipping away
As recent years have slid past
Age is catching up to me
I know not how long it will last.

The sharpness is getting dull
The simple words I cannot find
An inner torment of oneself
Is the slipping of ones mind.

Business stress is the fuel
The worlds measure of gain
When success brings great joy
The stress brings great pain.

When the future is filtered through faith
The Bible becomes your guide
There are countless words of wisdom
You have God on your side.

Books like Ecclesiastes stretch
Your mind to places unknown
Written by the wisest man ever
Into the depths he has sown.

The Old Testament points to Jesus
A Savior we need so bad
Satan and sin torment this world
But this world is all he has had.

The Gospels give accounts of Jesus
God came down to earth
Died and paid for our sins
That is what you are worth.

The epistles preach of Jesus
The applications of a disciples life
The highs of blessings and focus
The lows of persecution and strife.

Revelation proclaims Jesus’ return
From the heavens he will proclaim
All of creation will bow
And answer to his name.

I know of two older men
The minds have left with time
Each day they read their Bibles
I pray I will continue in mine.
