Some are massive. Some are smart,
but every one shall soon depart.
All animals - both great and small,
will someday hear God's final call.
And even through their graceful motion
near the bottom of the ocean;
no matter what they could become,
all ocean fish will too, succumb.
While birds can soar above the rest,
they also take their final test.
Though they fly to their highest high -
they will also, surely die.
No matter where, what, why, or how,
Just one hundred years from now;
no matter if we've so persisted -
few will know that we existed.
So why go through our futile notions
exercising fruitless motions;
collecting things we cannot keep,
until we all fall fast asleep?
Sinners want to impress people
outside of the church and steeple.
But soon our chances will be past.
Only what's done for Christ will last.
