In my most impressionable & formative years.
I caused teachers, loved ones & my parents many worries & tears.
My parents tried to instruct with discipline, teachers tried every approach to teach.
But i had become hardened, stubborn; one they couldn't reach.
It was years later that i read a book that confounded me.
A book known as the B.I.B.L.E.
For within it's pages were some of the same instructions they had tried to impart.
Yet still, i was stubborn hardened of heart.
Then once alone on the road trip of life,
i pursued desires that brought pain & strife
For i had embarked through the wide gate & become lost upon the broad path.
Later finding myself burried in the aftermath
For those desires had no fulfillment or destination in sight.
Yet continually i follwed what i believed right.
Then it was the road map handed to me, that compelled me to bow a knee.
The road map was the B.I.B.L.E.
Which turned my self-righteous anticipation,
into an expectant hope in an eternal destination, found in salvation.
So it was throughout the life i chose to live.
I had hardened my heart; forgotten how to love & give.
& with all the pain & strife,
i had come to live a selfish, unhealthy life.
Now im on a much different course.
One of love, repentance & remorse.
For along this road trip of life,
I have fallen in love with the greatest written & living love letter.
& never can anyone pen one better.
But as for me & my house we will serve the Lord.
Always making sure to pass on our family sword.
Which is the B.I.B.L.E
The instruction, road map & love letter for you & me.
