A Poem on Self-control

THE FUTURE IS YOURS

John, a poet by the will of God Jesus our Savior

To the young men and women of this age

Which some are but not because I'm superior

Yet due to my age I profess some wisdom and sage

As when little ones you were not allowed certain things

For they made you unmanageable and now not your own

But responsible to the Father and to manage which it brings

To your readiness good works that he has sown

For the body is pure if you make it that for sure

So do not drink things that do not lead to this:

The excitement of the Spirit to endure

As you work signs and wonders in youthful bliss

For self-control is required of such workmen

But be bold in prayer that God might shine on you

And send a miracle to others then

Believe without hesitation, it will be true

Or prophesy or just bear fruit of who comes

For the Father says, "You can do anything

You set your mind to," I say, "In bigger sums,"

But if you have nothing to say when he comes then sing

And listen to what he said there in your voice

But even self-controlled it is your choice.
