Were We All To Take Life Lightly - A Poem
Man's intended a better fate.
A Red Cross doctor was beheaded today 4/29/2012.
Were we all to take life lightly,
Who would there be to feed the poor?
If our world stopped praying nightly,
Could life go on, and are you sure?
Once upon a different age,
When man was in an earlier stage,
Survival was the only game.
No one cursed, none gave God the blame.
Now with all we know and cherish,
Some would seek those old ways before.
Some would curse, say man must perish.
Some won’t strive for Heaven’s door.
Were we all to take life lightly,
No God to curse; so curse each other.
Soon a final struggle mighty,
No one spared, brother against brother.
I’ll rest my case, but here’s my notion:
For all the world’s sad, forlorn state,
Where no matter our own deep devotion:
Man’s intended a much better fate.
See it now in his compassion.
It’s spoken in his truest words.
Surely there’s a God in Heaven.
Who even feeds the smallest birds.
He and His angels know our heart.
He sent His Son to teach us all.
Search deep within your every part.
There is no need for man to fall.
Were we all to take life lightly,
His Son will come, no matter what;
Take us home to be judged rightly.
Before the door of Heaven shut.
