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?
