Two Paths

Based on Matthew 7:13,14 Two paths One path is broad and straight The way is easy and paved with gold No hills to climb No valleys to descend Temptations line each side of the road No strain or effort Every indulgence fulfilled The other path is narrow and windy The way is difficult and paved with stones Steep hills to ascend Deep dark valleys to cross No amenities to distract Toil and weariness abound Many take the first path Pleasure, ease and comfort Nothing to sacrifice The portal is wide and open Few take the second path Too much sweat and toil Everything to sacrifice The portal is narrow and small One path and portal lead to eternal destruction The other path and portal leads to eternal life Which one will you take?

Surely I will choose the latter. This poem has induced in me thoughts of eternity. Life here is so fleeting. I am not ready to prefer eternal bliss to short term comforts. Beautifully composed, dear friend.

Thank you. Yes, we can get caught up in living for ourselves and forget about the future
