The clock of life is wound but once,
And no man has the power
To tell just when the hands will stop
At late or early hour.
To lose ones wealth is sad indeed.
To lose ones health is more.
To lose one’s soul is such a loss
That no one can restore.

‘The Keeper of the Door’
You are the keeper of the door
Whether rich or whether poor
Whether gain or whether loss
It doesn’t matter what the cost
You are the keeper of the door
The vows of love require more
Patience, kindness, and truth too
It’s the least that you must do
You are the keeper of the door
If you want your love to soar
Never compromise its fate
God’s love will be its trait
You are the keeper of the door
Let God’s love in you adorn
He’ll cover you with His love
Special blessings from above
You are the keeper of the door…
