Give Your Life
27 November 07 8:15 am
Why do people love violence and evil?
Why is revenge considered sweet?
A child unknowing and innocent is laid at the saviors feet.
Its little body abused and beaten its little bones
are broken packed in a box and in a dumpster thrown
its little life gone its body left cold
Its name forgotten and its story left untold.
The man that fell beside the road dead from alcohol abuse.
Lost every thing he had and everything there was to loose
as people either ignored him there or pointed at him and laughed
His life disappearing as quickly on they passed.
A young mother who’s left with her child and the dad is nowhere about
and shamed parents who selfishly threw them out.
Cost of living growing higher and her with no skills
turns to the streets for work so her pimp can get his pills.
A family torn apart
by mistakes and broken hearts,
cries out to our heavenly father
As lawyers push them ever harder
Mourn oh hearts ache and cry
but don’t ever again question why,
when you yourself can help someone in any little way.
With just a little of your time or a little of your pay.
Share what you have, use the grace you’ve been given
only you can give the life you’ve been given.
Those that love their life shall lose it and those that give their life shall gain it.
Life on Purpose Live it before you lose it! ©2009
