In the Football Field of Life

In the football field of life, vastly wide We play various roles, of which we take pride By standards and rules we abide While toward victorious goal-scoring, we stride! For rejuvenation time-out moments We delight in cheerers’ encouragements Along various sponsors’ refreshments Thanking the Lord for His grace endowments! With my faith-driven championship fervor I trust God, my Coach, for wisdom’s favor Praying to Him for my service-endeavor Reaching-out triumphs* I sweetly savor!
*Psalm 25:2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. June 23, 2018
