Living and Loving... Part Two

Well, I looked around and people were nodding, Yet some looked angry, as if they were plotting, So I turned and continued my soap box show, "Some of you here today may not understand... you might believe just as fiercely as this man, that we do not have a choice of where to go." "Get a grip people and just hang on a sec', I have said nothing over which you should fret, For there is still hope for all of us, you see." "Don't worry about God and evolution For faith in God above is our solution, And arguments can damn us eternally." "Your salvation is completely up to you. Its your faith, its your belief, its what you do, Which discerns whether you're on the righteous path." "So smile right now and know that you're truly saved, and always build upon your faith in the grace, for living and loving is all that we have." As I left the crowd that bright and sunny day, A hand grabbed my shoulder as I turned away, Turning I saw that it was the preacher man. I looked at this poor soul so cold in spirit, He shivered so much I could hardly bear it, So silently I prayed for another plan Holding my shoulder tight, this is what he said, "Your words have shamed me and my face is still red, but I must tell you that you have brought me hope," "For I see the love of the Lord in your eyes! Will you please forgive me my failings and pride?" I answered with a smile and offered my coat!
