Life but a Vapour.

Psalm 39:4LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is: that I may know how frail I am.5Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah. There is that word "vanity". The marginal reference here suggests that it means "vapour". In Ecclesiastes in various places the original word translated "futility".

Drifter with an Attitude They gave him A fine saddle Boots and fancy belt. No charge, said the Sheriff. This Drifter had the run of the Town. Whatever his desire. Town nestled by A clear blue Lake. Water just like gold In these parts. But harassed by bandits Already robbed the coffers. Of their mining company. Would do it again. Unless Drifter intervened Organized some resistance With guts, strategy And guns. Appointed Town Dwarf As new sheriff. Good as any. Might they drop their cowardice? Aim straight and true. What could the Drifter do. Once before they Had bull-whipped Drifter. Townsfolk offered no help. He had a long memory. Women watched him With hope and desire. Sheriff’s job done right. Day or night. (*poem is based on my favourite Western, High Plains Drifter with Clint Eastwood.) https://youtu.be/Ek9CwmjisLE?si=WNIKUkBElB2U3fYu
