In Earthly Life…

Just take the good in every man;
Ignore the bad things if you can;
The Lord decides each one’s life-span;
Our good / bad are weighed by His pan!

Each birthday tells we’re much older;
With passing years, some get bolder;
God looks into each one’s folder;
One’s heart should never get colder!

We are what we are by God’s grace;
We must not don a mask for face;
No one escapes Almighty’s gaze;
Our bad records we must efface!

The short-cut route is sometimes fast;
It will not however long last;
The present soon becomes the past;
Man’s misdeeds make him an outcast!
