Life on Earth – a furnace
Life on earth is like a furnace
In which we are tested in all earnest
In its fire we are heated
Time and again this process is repeated
Be you on the road or on a throne seated
No one in life is spared
For this we must always be prepared
In a moment joy turns to sorrow and sorrow to joy
Life play's around with us like a toy
It's for us to learn
To right from wrong discern
This should be our main concern
Events of life cannot be controlled
By saints and seers we've been told
Accordingly ourselves we must mould
So from life's furnace we come out shinning like gold!
