POETIC FLOW: SORROW SHARPENS YOUR UNDERSTANDING

JUST THINKING:

We sleep each night like babies

And we wake up each morning like giants

We ask ourselves “what does this day have in store for us’’

At times, we get fulfilled at the end of the day

Other times we get frustrated by the events of the day

We all go through the same circle each day until death comes

Death comes unannounced most times

Other times, there could be an insight or indication that one will die soon

People die daily but we do not want to learn from it

The death of a loved one is always painful

It will cause pain and create a vacuum in lives of the bereaved

The loved ones will mourn over their departed

People will call and visit the bereaved to mourn with them

A lot goes through the mind when we visit people who are mourning

Sincerely, it is better to go to the house of mourning

It is a great place of learning

Going there is better than going to the house of feasting

Sorrow (mourning) is better than laughter

Sorrow may sadden your face

But it sharpens your understanding

The understanding that it may be your turn one day

That day, you will stand before your maker

The understanding that the living should always remind themselves that death is waiting for us all.
It is appointed for man to die once 

The understanding that you should live a holy life
Without holiness no one can see God

The understanding that we must reach out to people for the lord

It is the mandate given to Christians

The understanding that he who wins souls is wise

There is joy in heaven over one soul that repents
The understanding that death is not the end of a Believer in Christ
It is just a passage for the Believer to Eternity. 
Hallelujah. 


Note: The above poem was inspired by Ecclesiastes 7:3 (GNT) which says:
 ''Sorrow is better than laughter; it may sadden your face, but it sharpens your understanding''.
