This Life Is Not Carefree

 





This life is not carefree 
Its give-and-taking schemes 
Are not always budget-friendly 
Or mindful of our dreams 

The flying colours of 
Accomplishment’s success 
Are cradled in a fragile glove 
Of heartache and distress 

The ‘something very nice’ 
We seized with 'hip-hooray' 
Was but the laud of sacrifice 
On altars of Today 

Reminding us again 
How fundamental, trust 
Without it who could bear the pain 
Of time’s determined dust 

Emphasizing anew
We hold a gifted Strand
And life is but the avenue
Back to the Giver's Hand

Midst high-fives and low-blows 
We traipse time's strafing sod 
While weathering life’s wows and woes 
But by the grace of God 

But by the grace of God 
Easy-street, none can claim 
For if we could who would applaud 
Or call upon His name

All they asked was that we should 
continue to remember the poor...
Gal.2:10
