The Soul

Wrap it so tight within layers of prayer
For it is a long night’s journey before it will even get there
Protect it from all detriment always keeping it at your core
For with the Gift that was sent we must try to keep it pure

Guard it in it’s way by going where it should be
Continuing each day so that your soul can be free
Always look ahead in seeing what's in store
For you do not want to tread but you want to soar

Keep a watchful eye and be weary of all other ways
The things he will try and the tricks that he plays
Never turn a blind eye or leave anything to chance
And always remember why you have taken this stance

And when it's’ journey is complete and it has reached that place
St. Peter will greet in experiencing all of God’s Glorious Grace 
But if you do none of the above and choose yet another path
You may not feel His love but instead His wrath
