Being a Christian Is Darn Hard:But Worth the While
He sits at a park bench,
Having his lunch as usual,
And as he tries to take a
bite of
his delicious sandwich,
He bites his finger...
She walks gracefuly past
him,
Swinging her hips with
much
pride and gist,
Her cologne seems to be
pulling
him behind her,
And he takes two steps
ready to
devour her seductive
seductions,
But then he trips back to
his
senses,
And remembers he is not
to give
in to the flesh,
Thus walks the opposite
direction,
Reminiscing how being a
christian, is darn hard but
worth
the while.
She basks peacefuly at
the side of
the swimming pool,
Enjoying her off-day free
of work,
Sipping her lemonade
then
suddenly there is shade.
She opens her eyes,
Sees the buffed up figure,
Cubes as precise as the
hardness
of diamond,
Her eyes salivate,
Her mouth perspirate,
He lifts her up with his
disturbingly beautiful
arms,
And he heads to the
changing
room.
It all seemed a dream,
She was literally swept off
her
feet...
But along the way, she
stopped
him.
She got down from his
arms and
ran,
Scared of what she might
have
done,
Realising that being a
christian, is
darn hard but worth the
while.
2years out of
rehabilitation,
A year into his new found
salvation,
He had not had a drink
that long,
And he was not planning
to any
time soon.
But as fate would have it,
Destiny's plans were quite
different.
Promoted to Vice Chair,
The boys decie to take
him to a
night out,
Afterall his wife was
away on
vacation,
So what would be his
reason of
not having a little fun?
Rounds and rounds of
beer come,
But he sticks to his coke,
Till he is called chicken
and he
wants to prove that he is
eagle.
One bottle down,
Together with 3years of
dedication,
2nd one halfway,
then he hears a still voice
urging
him to stop.
He does...stands up and
walks
away,
Repenting the misdeed,
And admits that being a
christian
is darn hard but worth
the while.
