Is Life Truly Vain?

You see,

When we all gather bout

the table to dine

When we all joke 

happily as one

When we all sing the songs

of joy to hosanna

n we walk back to our beds.

When we look at ourselves

in the mirror

n talk sense to our heads,

so we can focus more on books

When we feel down after checking

the report sheet

N papa says to us 

"are you dullards?

I was never a dullard like you!"

Then we cry n cry

n finally encourage ourselves.

When we look 

at his face n tell him

"I love you darling"

n soon we lie again to him

"The money ain't enough!"

in our minds we feel

if it isn't done that way

we won't get what we want.

n finally

When we rest and rest in peace

In peace we rest indeed!

After all the troubles in life

The rest is ever sweet.

So sweet we think of nothing again

not poverty, not wealth,

not struggle, not harvest;

But in the tranquility of deep rest.

Done all we can in this world

Eating sand n drinking water

All now in the past

Till we meet the Lord one on one

Heaven or Hell we shall know!
