Almost no more


Ecclesiastes 7:20 

20 For there is not one truly righteous person on the earth
who continually does good and never sins.

 

Almost no more

 

No more tears to cry … I guess it is all over

Underline the day … with the color red

No more reason “Why?”...  No more four-leaf clover

All hope now gone … facing the dead

 

Somber faces judging … life’s ill chosen pathways

Attacking names … after every fall

The lifeless grudging … missing Eternal days

A losing proposition … after all

 

All security now gone … no one here to help

Memories of all … the wasted chances

Now all alone …with fear in breath

Observing a place … where flames are dancing

 

No way of return … an endless mess

Agony and pain … always crying

Forever to burn … God has turned away

Is that’s what it’s like … in constant dying?

 

It is not too late … to now be delivered

While you are breathing … here on earth

You can escape the fate … described here above

In turning too and accept Jesus … to receive a second birth
