Another version of Psalm 49

October 21, 2017 by Chris Gribble

Constantly moving with restless determination,
Always going somewhere but not knowing why,
A life of conversations coming to its end,
Until the final death gasp confronts eternity,
Life’s most important conversation begins,
Death’s words confronting life,
Wondering where he will find his home.

Death’s pile of foolish knowledge,
Turns to eternity’s biggest regret,
Its legacy of self importance quickly fades,
Wealth accumulated vanishes at eternity’s door,
Remembered by their purchased self importance,
Eternity’s loyalty reveals Stupidity’s foolishness.

My heart has found its home,
No longer worried by destruction’s gains,
They are short lived and never satisfied,
Using shattered relationships for selfish ambition,
My home is close to Eternity’s heart,
The breath of hope my final word.
