Born into a good,modest,  home
raised on God, Family, Country
Fire within to find excitement

bird free from cage wayward went
forgetting that she was heaven sent

finding new world a thrill a minute
expunging mind from all good within it

Eat drink and be merry, live for self
put everything else on a shelf

until you fall from grace
forgetting a saviors face

marriage came with abuse, children no
excuse many years of suffering felt deserved

finally  divorce

loss of self-esteem, angry with the world
another swing through the hedonist way

But grace would not let her go

into a life of curtains torn
sorely dreading every morn

until

Finally the message was received
only one reason a heart should grieve
if you lose sight of who Creator is

We wend our way through lifes busy hours
do we know how much of it we waste

Only when we begin to learn that every second is
precious because it is God given for us to learn
of Him

We are all created to be about our Creators business when we give Him first thoughts everything else will  fall into its proper place...
