Remember The Day You Stood Poem by Mary Wismer

Remember the day you stood

Thus shall ye do in fear, faithfully?
And with a perfect heart.
And what cause so ever shall come to you of your brethren
Those dwell in your selves between blood and blood,
Between love that tough, the messages of truth,
Ye shall even warn you that they trespass not against,
And so wraths come upon, and upon your brethren: this do,
And ye shall not trespass.

Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely
So that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen
Or let them slip from your heart as long as you live.
Teach them to your children and to their children after them.

Remember the day you stood before God,
When he said, 'Assemble the people before me
To hear my words so that they may learn to revere
(Fear) me as long as they live in the land
and may teach them to their children.'
