God's Book Of Life Poem by Randy McClave

In it your name is not written
Or instead it might have been smitten,
Inside Gods very own book of life
Whereas, my name has been carved in it with a knife.
Your name might not ever be there
When in that book God does carefully stare,
Entering into the gates of Heaven you are not meant
So, unto an heavenly reward you are not sent.
Your soul will instead be sent to Hell
As the Bible does honestly and spiritually foretell,
Because your name is not found in his book
Even if God almighty gave it a second look.
I still think and worry about that coming day
So, into my closet I go alone and I pray,
I know in God's book your name will not ever be
In Heaven you will not spend your eternity.
In my own book of verse for years I did write
Of joy and those who gave me happiness and delight,
To God I plead, and unto him I kneel and I whine
In his book you are not written, but your name's in mine.
