Mid way through Ch 11 the Teachers addresses the young. This isn’t restricted to an age group, but it’s anyone who still has time left! To these people (you and me) he offers a poem on old age and death. At the beginning and end of the poem he insists that we remember God as our creator and our judge. Of course to remember is to take action, and he finishes the book by telling us exactly what that is.
