I saw a "keep out" sign and it caused me to ask questions. Here are some of my questions.


 

The “Keep Out” Sign
By Larry R. Linville
 
“Keep out,” the sign shouted
in letters red as blood.
It’s not just a drizzle
but more like a big flood.
 
What is it protecting
property or person?
Did something bad happen
continue to worsen?
 
Is this guy a loner
or is he very scared?
When he put up the sign
were his emotions bared?
 
Many folks have “keep out”
all over their face
and separate themselves
from the whole human race.
 
Pray to God for a way
we can help them find ease
and open up their hearts
to get out of their freeze.

Agreed on all points, especially the last...Ed (by the way I like your Lenten devotions, it says so much about your faith)

Larry,

How true. Some people don't wish to be bothered. This reminds me of two songs, "I am a Rock", and "Sign" The songs came out in the 70s, but they are so true today. Wonderfully written.
