You Paid a Worthy Price

Oh the earthy being!
You paid a worthy price...
Guarded me in tough times,
But took himself all the grimes.

You paid a worthy price...
What u gave you was just a bowl of milk,
But you showed me the human's bilk.
What was the need to pay the penalty,
I considered you a weed, but you instead ruined my cruelty.
You stood stff as a rock, whenever the blow touched me,
Taught me to walk when my leg left me.
You gave your life,
Whe serving my life.

Oh the earthy being !
You paid a heavy price...

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
