We Face Each Day Unchained

We must face every morning wondering with such a heavy 
chain, for the things we come to know. Yet people go out 
of their way to pay Billions for nothing given and nothing 
to show. We place our own dependence on many physical 
and earthly things…. 

Yet we pray to God in heaven, when things go bad and 
want to be under His might and protective wings. We 
keep warring and taking each other lives. It makes me 
wonder, how many messages were sent, to grieving 
widowed mothers and worried struck wives..?

There is always a time to smile, there is a time to help, 
there is always that time to remember and go walk that 
extra mile. There is a time to live, and then there is a time 
of death… 

So just remember that when you take your next breath. 
There is a time for us to worship, and there is a time for 
that bloody whip. The one I hold so tightly, that I hold in 
my own strangled grip…

I don’t see the world now, as I did as a child. But there 
are things that I have remembered; as some stay normal, 
while others come to surface and become so very wild. 
There is a time to be happy, and a time to cry…

How did time begin, but from a whisper from the sky. Too 
many questions there are for me, where do you want to 
spend your eternity? So the life we lead is the place we 
start, We first must come to realize God from our heart.
