Poem Commentary

I don't want my life to be wasted by sitting around doing nothing .When I feel a desire in my heart to speak to someone about the Lord,I must go at once.When I feel a stirring in my heart to pray for someone,I must kneel at once.I can't let what I have done wrong or what I could have done right but didn't ,stop me.I must get going,for I alone am held accountable for what I was called to do.

Romans 12:11 Never be lazy in your work but serve the Lord enthusiastically.

       IDLY

I have made many a mistake

And I know I'll make more yet.

Wasted days behind me

But these I must forget.


Haven't got time to sit and think,

About all I could have done.

For the day is drawing nearer,

When I'll meet God's only Son.


Can't just sit here thinking,

About what I could of been.

Must get moving,use what I've got

For idleness is a sin.


Because when He comes and ask me,

What have you done for me,

I don't want to say,nothing Lord,

I've been sitting around idly.

Thank you Cindy80 for your sweet comment.

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
