Life as we know it

This poem is written with tears in my eyes

Because of how short life is and how vast the skies

A fleeting moment as of a breath of air

Is how things are, yet we still do not care

For truth is around us yes at every corner

Yet as we grow things get no warmer

Unless we stand and do not fall

For God knows you, did you answer His call?

Eternal life is what He has for each and everyone

When we believed it is everlasting, now we are His son’s

For a time came when we accepted Him

But He knew this from the beginning that we would surely win

He has seen everything from beginning to end

And upon this truth He will not bend

For this we know that God cannot lie

It is written in the stars; way up in the sky

It is up to us for we have our own minds

To believe and walk as the path before us unwinds

For the steps we take are our very own

They become more sure footed as we have grown

Fears fall away as we learn and grow

Just like the rain comes and it turns to snow

Temperatures rise and fall just as thoughts change

We can live or die, doesn’t that seem strange?

It is up to us, yes each and everyone

To believe or not, to rise or fall, or to be God’s son

His only begotten took the chance and obeyed from the heart

Now it is up to us Romans 10:9, 10 is the place to start
