    Poem Commentary

    I don't want my life to be wasted by sitting around doing nothing .When I feel a desire in my heart to speak to someone about the Lord,I must go at once.When I feel a stirring in my heart to pray for someone,I must kneel at once.I can't let what I have done wrong or what I could have done right but didn't ,stop me.I must get going,for I alone am held accountable for what I was called to do.

    Romans 12:11 Never be lazy in your work but serve the Lord enthusiastically.

    I have made many a mistake

    And I know I'll make more yet.

    Wasted days behind me

    But these I must forget.


    Haven't got time to sit and think,

    About all I could have done.

    For the day is drawing nearer,

    When I'll meet God's only Son.


    Can't just sit here thinking,

    About what I could of been.

    Must get moving,use what I've got

    For idleness is a sin.


    Because when He comes and ask me,

    What have you done for me,

    I don't want to say,nothing Lord,

    I've been sitting around idly.

    Thank you Cindy80 for your sweet comment.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
