Heaven Bound
by louis gander In one quick flash, I hear a splash, The trouble some get in! They scream and shout and then yell out, "Please help me from this sin!" The selfishness of those God blessed! May lightning strike them down! They misbehave. Let Jesus save - or let them sink and drown. Life guard, to be, is hard you see, and I'm a nervous wreck. To help someone? I'd rather run than risk my precious neck. I disappear in church right here with friends, safely on shore - and say on cue, "I'll pray for you" then pray five seconds more. It really stinks when someone thinks the obligation's mine. Though sin assault, it is their fault! And that's the bottom line! Am selfish, I, if I don't try? I'm just one lone observer. I have my place. I have my grace. I have my 'life preserver'. By now you've guessed that I've been blessed and Heaven-bound indeed! So don't be blue. They'll rescue you and other folks in need. Who cares 'bout sin - and things within that dark and angry sea? Why should I care who's thrown in there? (unless, of course, it's me). Copyright 2021 by louis gander.
