Fragile

O' Lord, we are but flesh and blood
O' Lord, we are prone to falls;
by day and night, free is from floods
the waters, thru' which we crawl.

Fragile are our lives O' Lord
fragile are our minds O' Lord;
pity us Lord, we weep
thy Mercy, O' Lord we keep.

The sound of dragging metal
made my heart jump, a stop;
a soul underneath so feeble
alive only by the Lord.

As people came rushing in
seeing the man beneath;
his bike in total ruin
the car in total freeze.

O' Christ thy Mercy shows
although our sinning beats;
Thy taketh' away our woes
that Death shall not visit.

So pray and pray my friends
even in rain or shine;
to spare us from lofty fiends
His Love! ever so sublime.

Amen!

it makes me sad and a little disappointed that some people drive as they do; and in the course of doing so, hurt other motorists, especially motorcyclists. the rainy weather is no excuse for careless and reckless attitude. and yes! we pray by day and night for His Protection, and on our part, we must drive carefully and slower than most others. till then, God bless!
