Each Day a Gift

Perceive each day as a gift! A gift freely given “no strings attached” With the added bonus of free will for spice On this beautiful serving tray of life Two choices regally displayed- The Light and The darkness I bow, I choose the gift more profound The gift of light, free and clear From the God of order and mercy, Daily admonishing "Take only what you need in life, All excess be kind and share" I taste it, I accept it, and I kneel in humble worship of Him His promise-eternal life in God’s presence Everlasting peace! To choose the darkness where tyranny reigns Temporal riches galore amassing Pure foolery, as these gifts- none are ever free All illusions, just as magic, will vanish - poof!! From the god of chaos and lies, beguiling "Take! Live, the world is yours! You deserve all the best!" All this for your immortal soul But comes a day when the bill comes due! No grace period, no mercy, and to be paid on demandl! I decline! I reject! this god of chaos with His promise - eternal separation from God Everlasting anguish, suffering and pain!
