The most important choice in life.


It Is Your Choice

 

Bad things happen to good people

If God is so good and strong

Why do our hero’s topple ?

While evil moves along .

Why are there no answers

From Church to Town Hall

Mankind always flounders

Continues to drop the ball

In Silence God seems to watch

Miracles hard to find

So rare we’re pleased to catch

Someone just being kind.

You see it’s just that simple

For everyone has that choice

Although high in Holy temple

You can hear that quiet voice

In every ear a quiet voice

In every heart a holy source

Everyone, it is your choice

To work with Heavenly force.

For in this life it’s true

He does His work through you

It will always be your choice

For from within will come His voice.

Some will just ignore

And let it fade away.

Those He will abhor

Judge harshly on that day.

Others will embrace and choose

To help along the way

They will never loose

His love on judgment day

There is only one truthful voice

As we struggle through this strife

It’s up to us, it is our choice

To help our Lord through this life.

Excellent and oh so right on. Greetings from our furthest provence to the west. It is true that we cannot see what is going on behind the scenes but it is as real as what we do see. We need not worry as we know how it all ends and so does that hungry lion who roams around seeking those he can devour. His fitting end! bar-b-qued.
Hugs and blessings J'nia

Hello Larry..I see below that this Alex character has his knockers in a knot..LOL..Don't take it to heart..it's the Slavic blood in him.
I simply removed the very nasty review he left and also a very nasty message..oh dear..such anger and hate present within this poor man.

I love your poetry it is deep and well-written..

Blessings,

Vesna

Larry,
So rare we’re pleased to catch

Someone just being kind.

True words, Larry. It seems in this days and times some people have lost all compassion for the homeless, sick, shut ins, abused, the handicapped. I thank God I still have deep compassion for people. I don't have much Paul, but there are some much worse than I. I have learned to count my blessings. Excellent poetry, Larry.

Blessings,
~Linda
