Kim Merryman Poet Quatrain

The Path To Heaven

While on this earth we have a choice,
Of two paths - wide or narrow.
Which one we choose will seal our fate:
Everlasting joy or sorrow.

The wide path may seem easy,
Living life by our own rules.
Many choose to go this way,
But this path is for fools.

Following the wide road,
Leads to a fiery destination.
People may be kind and good,
But ignore God's great salvation.

The narrow path is not easy,
But it leads to heaven's gates.
Living for God and loving Jesus,
That's the path we all should take.

And when this life is over,
If we've walked the narrow path,
The Pearly Gates will open for us,
But if we haven't, we'll face God's wrath.

Jesus is the key to heaven,
Through His blood we enter in.
Accept Him as your Lord and Savior,
He will take away your sin.

I, for one, am looking forward,
To walking down the streets of gold,
Side by side with Christ my Savior,
The glories of heaven to behold.

Robert Pettit January 16, 2012 at 4:11 PM Good descriptiveness and rhyming in this offering. Reading this reminded me of a episode of the Twilight Zone where the late Arthur Hunnicutt played a coon hunter who almost got tricked into entering hell. His dog could smell the burning sulfur, and he fortunately found the right place down the road.
