Waste about self
Waste
Proverbs 25:19
19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble
Is like a bad tooth and a foot out of joint.
Is time wasted when no accomplishments are noticed?
Weeks have passed … about a month,
no progress yet in sight.
Not in study … not in plans
no vows fulfilled in time.
Trivial tasks … quickly amassed
seem to take my space.
Even t.v. … what should not be
has sneaked into my place.
Warnings ignored … may-be just bored
investment of daily life.
All at peace ... what is wrong
when laziness does not strife?
Did it win … the battle within
or is my flesh ruling the heart?
Sad to see … what is happening to me
exchanging wisdom for some smarts.
Don't give up … that empty cup
in existence's deadly hold.
Start a new … get a clue
travel fresh into life's new mold.
People smile and after a while
when they see you battling through.
It gives them hope … seeing you afloat
the one … who satan knew?
Jan Wienen
