From Our Very Beginning

From Our Very Beginning Some say that from our very beginning We all were born and soon started sinning Going against God in each and every way Sometimes His name in vein we did say. Each of God's commandments often broke And reacting to Him as if He was a joke Even our own neighbors took advantage of Not like ourselves them would we love. Never molded our lives like God's Son Stopped praying when each day was done And quit thinking about God in our life Forgot God's Son saves us from sin and strife. What else could we possibly have done wrong? Maybe this should be turned into a sad song Here is my better idea what if every minute We made sure God and His Son were both in it. James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran I have almost reached my goal of 1,200 poems written before Jill and I leave for London on May 17th in 12 days. This has become God's Baker's Dozen.
