The Absolute Goodest: Chapter Five: the Race of God

“The Absolute Goodest: Chapter Five: The Race of God” by: Eric L. Boddie How did we come to be The topic has been much debated And no matter what you believe In His Image is how I was created I have His Beliefs Even though I, sometimes, fall short of His Glory And everyday we write pages in the books of our lives But He has already read the whole story I follow His Teachings Well, actually, I give it my best try Because there are times when I know I’m doing wrong I’m just a man, and sometimes, temptation conquers her beholder’s eye And still, He forgives me For all I have done And even when I denied Him My Father didn’t forsake His son He is always with us And He only wants us to show love to Him And the only way we can truly do that Is to show love to them The fallen, the scarred, the troubled, the lost For they are the ones who need Him most The path to Him is a steady climb Not a road you can reach and expect to coast Because evil is among us And rising at a tremendous rate The devil’s greatest weapon against us is religion How strong can the church be if it’s divided by Faith When we are all His Children And He wants us all on His Squad But only those with Faith enough to do His Work Have the privilege of being in the Race of God

thank you so much....I feel the best way to write good poetry is to always write the truth because poetry is simply the song of the heart....;)
