Life Philosophy



As with the wandering butterfly,
And the fish that broods the fry,
So is he that asks not why,
Till their life time doth pass by.

As with the ape bunch jumping by,
And school of fish swimming by,
So are they whose need is why,
Asking never what and why.

As with the ants that toil all while,
And their hill they build so high,
So are they who future buy,
And they strive till time goes by.

As with the sun sure going by,
And the moon steadily high,
So is who by God lives by,
Before all time with go by.
