Life is like a Bank

 Life is like a Bank,

Full of riches galore.

No matter how much we have,

We always want some more.

What we may count as profit,

God may count as loss.

For only eternal things benefit us,

When you consider what they cost.

Seek your investments from God’s Word,

For they’ll give you a good return.

Set your target on heaven’s reward,

And let your needs be God’s concern.

Don’t live a life in overdraft,

Paying more interest than you should.

Invest in valuable, eternal things,

That won’t burn away like wood.

Invest in friends who make deposits,

For they’ll add a bonus to your life.

Beware of friends who just withdraw,

Leaving you in deficit and with strife.

A loving heart is a worthy credit,

For it inflates your currency.

Good deeds give a good return,

And protects you from bankruptcy.

So live a life of generosity,

Don’t waste your life on greed.

Deposit your riches in the heavenly bank,

So you’ll never want or need.
