Life's Race

by Lewis E. Thomas  
10/11/2012 / Poetry



We are all in a race that begins in the womb
We will remain in this race until we go to our tomb.

It is a race with sin and it is a race with death
It is a race that starts before we take our first breath.

Our course is not fixed but determined by us
We choose our own route so no need to fuss.

Some choose a shortcut through the Badlands of Sin
Taking a detour around Righteousness hoping to win.

Some choose for their driver the Father of Lies
While others ride with Jesus which makes them wise.

Satan promises victory and a fast ride as well, but
Can you be victorious on a fast lane to Hell?

Sin's route has valleys of sorrow and pits of shame
It is dotted with the wrecked lives of people in pain.

The Way of Righteousness is a much safer course
It is not littered with alcoholism, murder, or divorce!

Old Death may be trailing at a far distance behind
But Death always catches up it's just a matter of time!

Choose the Path of Righteousness if you want to win
And give Death the slip without crashing on Sin.

If you get off course and lost during life's race
Just send up a prayer like a flare signal for Grace.

God will direct you and guide you to a victorious win
Trophies will be handed out in that Land with no Sin.
