Value

Imagine that you may have lost
your most valuable thing
a terrible loss most worthy
importance it did bring
____
perhaps never to be replaced
its value was that high
worshipped adored in much pleasure
with ownership came pride
____
but there are those who do not see
a soul is worth much more
it’s determined to live forever
with God or in flame’s roar
____
preparation should be utmost
in planning for one’s death
that value must be placed on life
before the last drawn breath
____
to lose a soul and gain the world
one’s value is amiss
what value is there to exchange
a soul for nominal bliss
____
if being lost away from God
is how you are today
then you must choose whom you will serve
accountability stays
____
for the value in which you’ve placed
on your very own soul
will follow you beyond the grave
it’s now in your control
