Poetry
“Questions about promises”
From the beginning of our lives
we’re taught from our parents,
teachers and mentors, the rules
we’ll need to be accepted in society.
What bills we must pay, the hours
we must work, and how much free
time we’re allowed.
Like parts in this great machine, this should make us happy, but
Parts break
I done as I was taught,
Doing and caring for all those around in my life,
with little needs or wants
for myself.
Eighteen years , many fortunes given,
Time spent in worry, aggravation and constant pressure
for more from those close to me.
All good things must come to an end,
the free train came to an end.
Then you must learn to make your own self happy
And content with who and how
you are, not how others try and tell you what makes you happy.
Listen , learn and obey the laws
This will help your travels thru life.
And when your life is over,
and all is said and done,
all that’s left is what was done
wrong and what was done right.
Then God will judge our life
what was done well and what was not.
During our time from the End to the
Start
If along the way you ask Jesus to
save and forgive, acknowledging
crucifixion was the price He paid for
our sin, to get another chance to try
and do right
My question is, how are you judged
after you’ve forgotten your promise,
Will God forgive twice?
The answer is Matthew, Chapter 18, verse 22: “Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.”
