Sin's Cost

This was the very first poem I wrote after my 10-year-long writing block. Our beloved dog had just died and I was thinking about the consequences of death. It's so final. It's not how it should be or how God wants it to be. He never intended it. But when we experience the shock and sting, it for sure makes me not romanticize this broken, fallen world. Each one of us has a choice. One choice leads to death, the other to eternal life! I am so thankful for my Savior who conquered death and took my place, vanquishing death forever!

SIN'S COST

Death in its finality ...so foreign it feels

So used to continuity ...then reality reveals

The aching heart in rawness ...every beat of love

Foreign to how life will be ...when we finally join Above None of death is God’s purpose ...How He wanted us with Him

How sad we all have made Him ...when we chose that first sin Now all we do is wander ...between great love and great loss

Hearts bleeding while perceiving ...the fullness of sin’s cost

I guess without the sting of death ...we might be content to stay But the divergence of the opposite planes ...exposes, in clarity, why we pray “O, Lord, in Your Goodness ...You let us choose our path

For when You come in Glory ...in retrospect, we will NEVER turn back!”
