The opinion of another I was told:
“Dear Sir, when did you become old;
Look! How your hair is turning gray;
Dear Sir, you were young just yesterday!” –
But with age comes wisdom you know,
So what gives you the right to be so bold?
A time will come when you are old!
Free advice: “Life is given for us to take,
But it comes to an end, make no mistake;
Life is like a vapor, and then it’s gone,
The best we can hope is not to do it wrong!”
So remember these words you were told:
“When you have an opinion just behold,
A time will come when you are old!”
Epaphroditus© January 11, 2016
In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests before you
and wait in expectation.
Psalm 5:3
