Its Raining

How many “good” deeds were done in the earth. Believe me, it wasn’t all bad. No one counted on Noah’s preach being right. ITs RAINING Alive and well whilst hell’s on fire. Whistles and bells, I know you hear! Your sole is hot, the coals conspire. That breath could be your last to fear. “I did a deed that’s good! See that?” Your chest thrust out…they’re adding up. What does God see, previewing stat? The question is, “What’s your back up?” Are you a god? Beat your record? Mere man, what can you do - that good? Do you think you deserve award? Do you rely on stone and wood? We are cursed men who miss the mark. Caught in deluge, except the ark. 5/10/2023

Thought provoking write, Kim. We are cursed men who miss the mark----so true. A reflective poem that makes one pause and think.

Speaking of deluge! Its raining so hard I may need an ark!. Works alone, won't get anyone to heaven. Especially if one is keeping score. I enjoyed my read, Kim. Happy Mother's Day young lady:)

So true! How foolish to think we can do enough good for even one mark against us meant death…it is are wages for sin. But God’s mercy and grace offers life, but won’t force it. Only through our free will. God bless you, Daniel! Thank you so much for staying involved with PS! You are a sweet presence! Stay dry and safe. Thank you for the HMD!
