The Story Only We Can Tell

But what are our lives

if not books to be written?

Each day a new page,

each word a small part

Some are characters in mine

and I, a character in theirs

How have I been written?

What of them do I write?

Not one word can ever be erased

Instead, new words written are made to replace

Oh, the story an author can tell

with words no other can spell

Punctuation at sentence end

Capital letters to start again

A sentence here

and a sentence there

begin and end with marks of quotation

Some goodbyes and lamentations

Some love and salutations

But what are our lives

if not books to be written?

Passion-filled novelette

or pulp-fiction to forget?

Oh, the words we learned to spell

in a story only we can tell

But what are our lives

if not books being written?

What words did we spell

in the story that only we can tell?

Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,  knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward.- Colossians 3:23-24

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.- 1 Peter 4:10

Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him. This is my rule in all the churches.- 1 Corinthians 7:17

“And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”- Joshua 24:15
