The Odd One Out

There are people who live in the fast lane, Swim upstream Enjoy the fruit of their labor riding on the coattails of the devil, Chase rainbows and find the pot of gold awaiting at the end. I wonder… Are you one of them? I, for one, I mostly followed the beaten path, But on whim strayed off a time or two. Ha yes! I also ran, Stumbled and fell, but finished the race, all the same. I didn’t know which faith to follow but kept my trust in God. I guess I didn’t labor my life hard enough and was just content to sit on the fence burning the midnight oil to earn a pretty penny.
