Eternity
by Lewis Hamilton
from the book “The Gardener and My Garden” c1997
Where should my thoughts
and actions be,
on worldly things
or eternity?
One is passing
the other one lasts
One never ends,
one goes by fast
I often wonder
when my life is done,
will I be rewarded
for souls I had won?
Or will I just carry
what satisfied me,
with no lasting value
for eternity?
But store up for yourself
treasure in heaven, where
moth and rust do not destroy,
and where thieves do not
break in and steal.
Matthew 6:20

As always, beautifully said.
