Two For All of Us: Dumb 'ol Cloud & I, meet Me
By Micah Wisdom
June 6, 2005

Dumb ‘ol Cloud

The cloud moves across the sky so fast

Dumb ‘ol Cloud

In such a hurry, it misses the sunset

Dumb ‘ol Cloud

Not even taking notice of the children playing in the field below

Dumb ‘ol Cloud

No time to get to know the elderly man sitting on the park bench

Dumb ‘ol Cloud

Letting the winds drive and push it by

Dumb ‘ol Cloud

Before long its life is over as it melts into the sky

Slow down Cloud

Slow down

“Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away” (James 4:14).

 

I, meet Me

I met myself the other day

But I was ten years younger

I was tempted to say what stocks to buy

And advise what investments to make

I wanted to warn of those who let me down

And who to avoid, saving a broken heart

Or maybe relay my mistakes and failures

In hopes that they would be corrected

I thought about telling when loved ones would pass on

So more time could be spent

All these things I wanted to say

But I did the best thing, just walked away

You see, I could have given the gift of the future

But it would have cost me my life

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28).
