“What are you giving up?”
A dear friend asked of me.
“Giving up?” I questioned
“Yes, for Lent, don’t you see?”
I’ve seen folks give up things
They don’t like any way
Like spinach or turnips
Or a naughty word they say.
Much better if they agreed
To give up evil actions
Like gossip and hot anger
Would bring more satisfactions.
How about adding things
During the days of Lent
Like sharing love with others
Love which is heaven-sent.
Add the study of God’s Word
And increase our life of prayer
Living the kind of life
Just like Jesus Christ is there.
