Thanks to Walt Hardester for sparking my muse herein...


Poem Artwork

When does come my time

To face God for final judgment

After following in my life my own code

Wandering through life with my own direction…

 

Will I succumb to the pressures of common opinion

Will I treat the Lord most sublime

Or will I be honest with myself & Him

And tell Him of my life of rhyme

Or was it a life of unforgivable crime…

 

Should I be totally with him honest

Though he should know me & remind him of each arrest

Or just do as I do in my life, letting what will be, be

Will he then send me to cross the Stygian sea

Or allow me to further continue on my quest

All the while doing so with by him being blessed…

Well Ed I believe He sees and hears all and if we are truly sorry then He is a very forgiving Father. I love my children unconditionally and would never bring harm on them as I believe our Father in heave loves each of us His children unconditionally and would not bring harn to us. |Great honest write Ed. Thank you for sharing.

Newfie hugs, Rose

Ed,

Wow. WOW! I am undone by the honesty in these lines: just know this. He already knows everything, don't have to hide, or admit wrongdoing. He knows. Nothing the Lord does is contradictory - all has a purpose, a reason. What, we don't know. I get mad at Him sometimes: when a disaster happens, when I see a child suffer, when I see the hate getting worse - but that's when I lean on Him, more - an excellent searching write. Keep searching - you're in my prayers.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

We must all follow our 'own code' in life, brother; and we hope the one we follow, is a good one.

Lill'brother, the Big Boss in the sky will have a special place for you, don't fear, and for punishment for something you did and we don't know, you will be together with PeeWee and his gang and me.
Are you not looking forward for that looooong eternal fun?
