Plan B

There are rules, one must follow For any event, to maintain decorum Religion and Politics are forbidden No matter the event, venue or forum You may, however, invite a representative One in the know, but no passion allowed No one mousy, and withdrawn But one who loves to be seen, mingling in the crowd Be sure to bring to the table, identity People can relate with "named," special, folk Never bring a whitewashed fool Or someone whose fallen from grace into the butt of a joke When the rubber meets the road, reaction is action No slamming on the brakes! Just ease into the take Avoid those who are at the extremes Too little, too much, the middle is always safe You can bring them to a boil, slow and easy Their breath will slip away, into the grave .....we need bodies....not PEOPLE!!!! Life events, without connection, discernment Bodies moving to the music on the dance floor If the disc, cd, computer program fails, no problem There's the record, always playing at the back door Habits, called religion, politics, safety, security Keep logic from making a run to sanity's red alert Even when all the events have been experienced And the last card played, the loins are girt ..................about with...............................truth We are going to our last destination With ticket in hand, to the pearly gates And when the roll is called up yonder Plan "B"ers will finally see GOD don't play .......................by man's rules Written by Trudy Schrader on 12/03/2020

Good one. It speaks of the morals designed by God and He is the final judge. Of course, none of us can make on our on works only through the shed blood of Jesus Christ Who gave His all for mankind. Enjoyed reading your work. Sara

Daddy God can not begin to help us love like HIM until we find our need for HIM. I am so happy I found my need for HIM long ago. He fills my days with joy.
