Chances

Cast out of the garden The lovers with shame To never return To not be the same Unto their children The weight of the two The original sinners On an apple did chew Oh, though it symbolic Of each other did taste They knew of their sin To no more feel chaste So, out of the garden The two sent to Nod God gave them a chance By sparing the rod. Instead of controlling He imparted free will Which lasted through time And is in us all, still. Because of their sins God to Moses gave rules Some of us follow Some of us are fools. He also did more By sending His son Not just for a few But for everyone. Still, there are the many Who choose not to be part Of the love He has given And implants in our hearts. So, after His son More chances He gave He sent even others With intentions to save. Still, there are the many Who turn all their backs Now, that is a mortal sin And salvation, they’ll lack. He has given us all So many times and ways Directions to Heaven But who really obeys? You’ll still have your chances To acquire keys to the Gates But take them all now, There’s no reason to wait.
