Just take the good in every man; <br />Ignore the bad things if you can; <br />The Lord decides each one’s life-span; <br />Our good / bad are weighed by His pan! <br /> <br />Each birthday tells we’re much older; <br />With passing years, some get bolder; <br />God looks into each one’s folder; <br />One’s heart should never get colder! <br /> <br />We are what we are by God’s grace; <br />We must not don a mask for face; <br />No one escapes Almighty’s gaze; <br />Our bad records we must efface! <br /> <br />The short-cut route is sometimes fast; <br />It will not however long last; <br />The present soon becomes the past; <br />Man’s misdeeds make him an outcast! <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 9-25-2006<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-earthly-life/
