the next life

the next life

A Poem by david r. lessard
"

which way is yours...the world's or God's?

"

in this world, we endure the pain,

live with earth-filled noisy dreams;

sometimes it's hard to keep it sane,

but life is not always what it seems.

 

we have faith that gives us hope,

we have love, that keeps us going;

we don't sit around and mope,

it's His word that keeps us growing.

 

lust is in the eye of the beholder,

a fall from grace is easily done;

we gird ourselves, become bolder,

knowing that the final race is won.

 

we have choices in our 'daily living,

we know right things from the wrong;

we pray and bless, and keep on giving,

and sing out loud, our Savior's song.

 

soon the King of Kings will be here,

and every knee of ours will bow;

He'll stop the flow of every tear,

and with forgiveness, show us how.

I like this very much...we live in this world but that doesn't mean we have to be part of this world, hopefully that makes sense. We all go through tough times and we all go through trials and tests so we can overcome and be stronger in Him. We only hope and pray that people will have their eyes open before it is to late. The only thing that kinda threw me was the ending "And with forgiveness, show us how." I am left wondering what He is showing us exactly. Love, forgiveness, or everything? lol other than that it was good.

Good Job
