The Wordsmith

"The Wordsmith"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

You only Live once, so do what you choose
He Gave us Free Will....so it's your Life to lose
How is your relationship with God?
And I may not be a Saint, but God Knows I Try
Because He Always Knows The Truth whereas man will tempt you with a lie
How is your relationship with God?
To those of you whose task
Is to promote negativity, I ask
How is your relationship with God?
To those of you who will smile in my face
And talk about me in another place
How is your relationship with God?
To those of you who go to church on Sunday
And raise hell way before Monday
How is your relationship with God?
To those of you who never have a good word to say
Who don't realize that the devil is having his way
How is your relationship with God?
To those of you who try to point out my flaws
Who act as if they have never broken His Laws
How is your relationship with God?
To those of you who think they are better
Than any other because it was God Who Put us all together
How is your relationship with God?
To those of you who think they can Judge
When That Is Reserved For The One Who Saves Souls With His Blood
How is your relationship with God?
He's Coming Back people....it might just be tonight
How much time is left......right!
How....is your relationship with God?
Please....Pray for me....as I Pray for you....

Gwendolyn Brown December 30, 2015 at 9:32 AM I love this Eric! Many people think they are religious when what they really need is a relationship. This sums up well the ones who really know God and the ones who know religion. Religion judges has more rules than the Pharisees could think up and relationship is love and walking and talking with the one above.

Keith Bickerstaffe December 22, 2015 at 12:38 PM ...and pray for me too! Although I think I'm in pretty good shape. A super poem Eric with the significant question asked over and over again for those of us who need to be beaten over the head with a brick. Seriously though, I hope this gets through to those who '...go to Church on Sunday and raise hell way before Monday, although I ain't so sure. These are the ones we should be praying for! Great job!! Keith
