There Comes a Day

Sometimes, evil flourishes
And seems to have control.
Don't it's cohorts realize
They're giving up their soul?

Through days of endless bounty
They wander unafraid,
While drawing near the climax
Of choices they have made.

Where can they turn in panic
When their world falls apart?
They have no hope if Jesus
Is not within their heart.

Yet God in all His glory,
Forgives them if they turn,
Embracing all His teachings
Determined they will learn.

Sometimes evil flourishes,
But there always comes a day,
When all of those who follow,
Must repent or lose their way!

You are so right, Betty.  We must all seek his forgiveness at one time or another.  Nice work!  

All writing comes
by the grace of God.

Some are just slow learners, but I hope they repent before it is too late.  Nice poem.  Joyce
