Only One Life To Live

Only one life to live?
The best you can do, then, is to give.

Of your time and your love.
Who knows when we will be called to God above?

We can go off on tangents and rave,
That we know more than Christ who gave.

It’s just how lost we are!
We believe in Solar power far more!

In this generation, truth is only online?
In God, most simply do not abide.

This is only my point of view.
But for this, I may be eschewed.

Part of the atheist Cancel Culture, I am not.
Iin this universe, I am but a small dot.

Nothing big, hardly impressive!
But I am clear, who God is,I do not dismiss Him!

The cancel culture is one of hysteria and darkness. Great piece.

If you believe you have a soul and that the soul is eternal, how can you believe you only have ONE life to live, but your cat has nine?

Good one. Rico. Nice tale that a cat has nine lives.they have no souls. Once dead, they are toast. Man has an eternal soul. Ya, right. Nobody here buys that. This site has little room for God, hes a big joke here. Better to write siily poems.my poem was most sincere. SorryPamgie
