The Broad and the Narrow


Each morning there is a choice you must make Between two roads and which you will take The broad road is full of earthly pleasures But the narrow path leads to God’s enduring treasures Oh how easy to choose the path of the world Since taking the narrow means Satan’s darts will be hurled The broad road has all the sinful pleasures you could want But on the judgment day the Son of God you must confront The prince of lies will give all earth has to desire Causing you to sink deeper and deeper into his mire The narrow road has many trials that you will have to bare But in the end an inheritance with the son of God you will share Only you can make the choice To live for Satan or heed God’s voice So choose wisely the road you will trod Will it be the narrow or the broad?

Well-wrought in terms of line lengths and endings. If you haven't yet, check out Edward Spenser's "The Faery Queen"--a couple hundred years old, yes, but the story of the Red Cross Knight has extremely close parallels with this poem; I think you might enjoy reading it, and you may gain further inspiration from it.
