Its All About Mercy
It’s All About Mercy

God didn’t give us lives
Filled only with the scent of wildflowers.
But all too often, we face
Dandelions too, that we must eradicate.
We revel in those days
Of magnificent warmth and showers.
Becoming “purse-proud”,
Giving God ample reason to castigate.
Then suddenly our lives
Become unstrung most unexpectedly.
And the faintest heart
From their chosen path will stray.
But amazing grace
Has enabled us to stand protected.
God has manifested,
Once more, leniency, for another day.
We’re void of thoughts
Concerning others, whom we should serve.
And our forgiveness,
Toward those same, scarcely can be found.
While we’re beseeching,
Gods Compassion, not what we do deserve.
Forgetting, that grace,
And mercy, for each, does much abound.
