The Fence

by Lewis E. Thomas  
10/17/2012 / Poetry



Many times as I grew up Mom and Dad and I were at odds
I rebelled against the fence they put up on the path I trod.

They erected boundaries and limits that I had to remain within
They were trying to protect me from ruining my life with sin.

I wanted to run free with no restraints at least that was my belief
I resented this limit on my freedom and caused them a lot of grief!

Mom and Dad suffered in prayer when I went beyond the fence
I put scars upon their hearts and wounds that made them wince.

Now I am older and thanks to my parents a much wiser man
Now I thank God for a Mom and Dad that were/are really grand.

God has a fence of love that all Christians should remain within
It is not to deny us freedom but to save our souls from sin.

When you want to jump the fence stop and think about it well
That fence has been erected to keep us from falling into Hell.
