Poem
Never look back Never reminisce fondly on things that weren't good for you in life Don't be like Lot's wife ... don't look back Righteous Lot went down to the land of Sodom and got him a wife, who bare him two daughters Those three were the love of his life But Lot loved God more --- a lesson we all should never ignore The things that God place in our life, we can't let those things become more precious than God Lot never did this, thus he earned a good name Cast the lot, lets see what God has to say: The Lord said, Depart from Sodom today ... right away, no delay This is what the two angels had to say Holy messengers sent to deliver Lot and his family from the impending doom But sadly, on the way out, as they were leaving, Lot's wife looked back What did she see that was so alluring: Did she see future days of missing her father and mother, sister or brother? Or would she miss the pretty house she had built up: Just getting saved wasn't enough, did she want to take something else with her? When she looked back, what did she see that was so enticing? I don't know for the life of me what it could be What did she think she was gonna be missing? Her friends and their wicked conversations without end? Unfriend me then When Lot's wife looked back, what did she see? She saw the eternal glow of brimstone fire falling from heaven like snow, raining death down below What was the price that she paid for looking back on ashen memories? She got turned into a pillar of salt Look at what those dead memories bought, the vanities she built up in life were all for naught I believe her body was destroyed, but her soul was saved Because the two angels did indeed carry her away, and saints are the salt of the earth Nevertheless ... Don't look back, don't ever look back What's back there will surely drag you down to hell Don't look back, don't ever look back Remember Lot's wife, and how it didn't end well
