BE PREPARED

By -



Be prepared!
For the master of the house
Comes at a time
When you least expect
Like a thief in the night
So suddenly that you cannot think
Be prepared!
Like the five virgins
Who were diligent and patiently
Waiting for the bridegroom
Be prepared!
So as not to be left behind
Like the five foolish virgins
And the doors were shut at them
For the master knows them not
Take every today that you have
Live it as if is your last.
Let your heart be above
In all your dealings in this life
Be prepared!

Then God couched, lion –like, each mighty hill. Silent, they keep their watch o’er Freetown still Silent –
