After all our duties shall we be transported,
Snatched into eternity eternally,
Maybe after the Biblical pension age-
Three-score and ten.
But the just, though earlier taken
Shall be at rest
The age of honourability comes
Neither with passing times’ passion
Nor measured with heaped up years.
Understanding, rather becomes
The hoary crown of men
And unsullied life
The attainment of old age.
He who pleased the creator
Was loved, is loved and
Would be overly remembered.
He that lived among sinners
Was transported-snatched away
Lest wickedness perverts his mind
Or deceit beguiles his soul.
22/11/2008 Legon.
