1. I said to myself, “I will watch what I doand not sin in what I say.I will hold my tonguewhen the ungodly are around me.”
2. But as I stood there in silence—not even speaking of good things—the turmoil within me grew worse.
3. The more I thought about it,the hotter I got,igniting a fire of words:
4. “lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.Remind me that my days are numbered—how fleeting my life is.
5. You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand.My entire lifetime is just a moment to you;at best, each of us is but a breath.”Interlude
