We Are Not Immortal, Child
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." ~Matthew 7:13-14 NIV
We are not immortal, child,
and you have done your share
of running wild.
Running until you hit that wall, child,
there are only two paths through
which way will you fall?
He has let you play awhile, child,
but in the end your soul laid bare,
with tears of sorrow; there's no tomorrow.
