Jacob Applin Poem
Please stop this roller coaster because I do not see the thrill, my heart it feel’s so cold that it’s past the point of chill. Up and down and left to right holding on with all my might, help me dear lord I can’t take this decline all warped and withered like old grapes on a vine.
My seat belt is failing and my legs are getting weak and I don’t think I’ll make it to see final peak. The gears are getting chipped the grease getting thin, I can’t take this damage for it’s cutting within. Moving so fast like a fish on a reel pulling and tugging to avoid final meal.
This rides way to long and it judges oh so quick, tossing and turning and I’m sure I’ll be sick. Why does it go so high but then oh so low, at this rate I won’t last and I pray I will go. Please dear God why must I ride, for you gave your life for my sins when you died.
Why’s life so hard and what did I do wrong, am I being punished for sinning so long? Where is my blessing for I need this to end for you said you’d be there always and in you I depend.
Just when I think it’s over God states his case he says to hold on for you’ve stepped out of place. How dare you interrogate me when I’ve said what to do and you chose this ride that’s to big for you. I said to have faith just a small amount you see and you step out on your own and have the nerve to question me.
Just give me your heart and you can be free for this ride can last forever if to me you don’t heed. This rides just a taste of what is in store if you don’t wake up soon you’ll burn to the core. Everyone has problems but different ways they prevail, with God on your side no matter what you won’t fail.
He never gives you more than he thinks you can handle like a very small wick in a very large candle. As long as you have life than your always lit, so ride that roller coaster until God makes you quit.
Thank you and thank God for the roller coasters of life!
