Possibly too late


Matthew 26:41 New English Translation (NET Bible)

41 Stay awake and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

 

Possibly too late … Really?

 

A little note to everyone: the ones who really don’t care

One day is like a thousand years and a century like a day

Time has no meaning and it seems just a burden to bear

A hurdle towards Eternity there for us to learn to pray

 

A life of meditation and opportunity set aside for all

The ones hungering for righteousness in the dream of life

Delivered in contemplation towards love for “The All in All”

Who accepts me in my loneliness and shares what is right

 

I find Him often in others, who seem to be discarded

Almost long forgotten with the exception of themselves

If I had just bothered in the presence of The Father

To serve the ill-begotten as surely as I am one myself
