Poem Title:
Poem
A simple life is all I am wanting, But the past can sometimes be painfully haunting. Mistakes we make as we take life’s stroll, Can later on be a stumbling block as we struggle to reach our goal. With age comes a little thing some call wisdom, And hopefully when you reach that magic age you wont look back with a heart that is cold and numb. The very thing I am most ashamed of at this very time, Is not accepting Jesus in my life when I was young and in my prime. I think of all those wasted years and that emptiness in my heart, When I was too busy making money thinking this was my only part. One side of me was saying I was a good man and a good dad, While the other side silently knew I was leaning heavily to the bad. Pride, silly pride can turn any man into a fool, If his life is not right, pride can be hurtful and cruel. Some wear it like a badge of honor but it can wear heavy with time, And make it hard to reach the tops of some of those hills we must all climb. Those that know Jesus can thank their lucky stars, He should be the center of all our attention in this world so vile, and bizarre. The good news is as long as we are still alive, And ask Him into our heart His love will never leave us, only flourish and thrive. GOT….JESUS?
