Who cares ...


Proverbs 19:16 

16 He who keeps the commandment keeps his soul,
But he who is careless of his ways will die.

 

Availability

 

Who does care ... where is the time

why these feet of clay?

All excuses ... feeling fine

what is left to say?

 

Concern for others ... who are lost

who will show the way?

Are there any ... who paid the cost

postpone it to another day?

 

But what if one can’t sense or see?

Who then to rescue ... who can it be?

Some ears can’t hear ... a simple message

Even a plea ... how can they be free?

 

Easy come easy go ... but what about destiny?

In the way and in the know ... almost no quality

Let it be for all ... as “we” race towards finality

Chosen decree without a plea ... written in certainty
