Everlasting Audition

People die and people live,
People take and people give.
Some take more and some take less,
standing on the line, putting their courage to the test.
Standing and waiting till that day,
where courage alone will not be there to stay.
Living life till the end,
with unexpected bends.
Do I turn right or do I turn left,
drowning in sorrow and bereft.
Internal clock ticking my life away,
Telling me that on earth I can no longer stay.
Friends dropping around me,
desperately trying to make their last plea.
Should I give up now,
and take my final bow.
I no longer have to be afraid,
My life has now begun to fade.
Let the applause roll in,
as I fall into everlasting sin.

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
