Come now,
those who say
‘Today or tomorrow
we will go to this or that town, 
and we will spend the year there, 
and we will do business 
and we will make money.’

-whoever you are
you do not know about tomorrow’s things.

What will your life be?

For you are just  a mist
that appears for a little while
and disappears. 

Instead of your saying
‘If the Lord is willing
then both we will  live
and we will do this or that.’

But now you boast in your arrogant (schemes);
all such boasting is evil. 

So “anyone who knows
the right thing to do
and does not do it
to them it is sin.” 

Thank you, dear Jesus, for all you have given me,
for all you have taken away from me, 
for all you have left me. 
Thomas More (c.1478-1535)
