Consumed by Life, Driven by Destination
This poem was written by Amanda’s Dad to remind her that this life is not the end and that we need to focus on where we are going after our last breath.
You ask what’s life about
Why on earth are we here?
In anger we scream and shout
Our purpose is not so clear
Some say that it’s the journey
Only time will tell
Others argue it’s the destination
Will it be heaven or will it be hell?
When things go wrong in life
And bad things happen all around
Will you give up on Christ
Or will you stand on Solid Ground?
No one promised it would be easy
To turn the other cheek
To overlook the bad in life
And strive to be so meek
Jealousy and desire
Consume our material mind
Wanting what others have
Is part of satan’s design
So when you’re consumed by life
And worried that it’s a test
Hold on to your faith forever
And don’t worry about the rest
