Golden Life

God gave you life.
He knew you before you swam in your mama’s womb-
what kind of person you’d grow to be, your aches and pains, your successes and gains.
No matter what path you may choose, 
He’ll always be waiting at the finish line for you.
If your choice is wrong, He’ll make it right.
He has a specific purpose for you to fulfill.
You can’t escape His perfect will.
This life He’s given you is a marathon; 
not a race so it’s best to keep a steady pace.
When things don’t go as you’ve planned,
Don’t fret-
No worries, mon!
You’re blessed with a golden life.
No need to think twice.
