InscribedA time to read, a time to pray, / A time to leave my books an play / To give my heart to God. A time to live a time to die; / For soon my little head may lie / Under the valley sod / Now is the time to think of God. / /While youth is in its bloom / Nor wait until old age prepares / Our bodies for the tomb.
