A Poem For Children With Thoughts On Death Comments

I find overtly proselytizing religious poetry to be completely unreadable.

Mr. Jupiter Hammon was a wise man. He was a giant in his time. Tis God alone can make you wise, well penned.

Beautiful I absolutely love this edifying our father GOD and praising Jesus name. Thank you .

Little children they may die, Turn to their native dust, Their souls shall leap beyond the skies, and live among the just- - - Lovely expression of faith. Although a servant, Jupiter was educated and what a joy for the world that this was so.

'' Remember youth the time is short, Improve the present day And pray that God may guide your thoughts, and teach your lips to pray. '' AN ITALIAN TRANSLATION: '' Ricordate, o giovani, che il tempo è breve - Rendete migliore il vostro presente, E pregate affinché Dio guidi i vostri pensieri ed insegni alle vostre labbra a pregare. ''

The blessed jesus sends his call, I love that line, so real but only grabbed by faith. Very spiritual poet in deeps.
