I Need More Than Luck

PAD Challenge 13: Two-for-Tuesday

For this Two-for-Tuesday prompt:

Write a lucky poem and/or...

Write an unlucky poem.

Abide With Me-Audrey Assad

I do not bank on luck

To charm what waits to be

Luck offers no assurance or

Accountability

Luck leaves no one to thank

Stars cannot see or hear

But by the grace of God go I

Through thick and thin, my dear

For when this life is through

(Death is no lottery)

I need more than luck to cling to

To face eternity

No lucky gal am I

But I am blessed indeed

By He who grants far more than chance

To minister to need

Instead, you ought to say,

 “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”

James 4:15
