Life Is A Bank Account
Your beautiful life is a rich bank account
Opened up from birth to last until the end;
To contain your rich deposits throughout life
Becoming permanent savings you’ll never rescind.
None of these deposits contain a figure amount
But are stamped with an eventual price to pay;
Credited to your future as sustenance of life
Good or bad, you’ll reap the outcome each day.
If you measure the value of your deposits
By decency, honor, virtue, truth and love,
Your withdrawals will be rewarding returns
In dividends of perfect peace from God above.
Though you may stumble poor along the way
Your deposits laden with mistakes and respite
The beauty of living inside God’s human temple
Is a second chance to set missed deposits right.
Parents, if you have precious young children
Teach them early on from birth
To make worthy deposits in their bank of life
So their withdrawals will prove significant worth.
Model for your children a strong example
Worthy for them to follow all you say or do
Teach your little ones ethics and values
That’ll establish foundation to keep young hearts true .
When old age begins to mark your years
And you make your last withdrawal then
You will know your bank account was well nourished
Leaving behind a firm legacy for your loving kin.
