Little one ...

1 John 3:7 7 Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.Little one

 

Where you are going little one ... you growing up before your time?

Are you loosing what you gained ... at a price of uncertain rhyme?

 

To count the cost seems important ... as today seems reaching out

And tomorrow pays for it-self ... as that what happiness seems about

 

Was it hunger for attention ... or uncertain thoughts in overdrive?

That made the end the beginning ... giving in to the tempter’s strive?

 

Mistakes made at the beginning ... should not haste a losing end

Altering the first inning ... can put you on track at the first bend.

 

Day after day the race goes on ... in the end the first are last

So if you start obeying ... then God will wipe out your past.

 

The strong will wind up in distance ... while the weak receive the first price.

It seems so strange the lame and cripple ... outran the “healthy” in their life.
