Count the Cost

If you have a desire,
Make a plan and count the cost.
Give account for every penny
Lest the entire project soon be lost.

Keep your focus on the purpose
That you have planned and set,
Lest other wants attract your eyes
And you soon forget.

If you do not work to gather,
Then your efforts are for naught;
And you only cause to scatter
The little you have got.

If you do not work with me,
Then you work against,
Causing us to part our ways
Now or in a time hence.

The choices that you make today
Will have a consequence.
So consider well your actions
With due diligence.
