My Focus…
By Larry Chadwick
Hope you enjoy the collection of poems I found that I wrote in 1993! Here is another one.


Am I focused mostly on my sinful past,
Or do I dwell on things that will last?
Is my life anchored on a spiritual base,
Or do I take charge, just in case?

On Christ the solid rock I stand,
But to be sure, let me lend a hand.
After all, I’m a successful man,
I got here by doing all I can.

If I’m going to live eternally,
It must be all up to me.
I’ve never gotten anything for free,
So it is time for me to get busy.

You mean salvation is a gift,
Not a finger do I need to lift?
Jesus sacrifice was just for me,
He died so that I could be free?

This Jesus I could really love,
Such a great gift from above.
There is no more desire to fight,
I’ve got the urge to do what is right.

This kind of message I could share,
With others for whom I now care.
Everyone! The gospel is true,
Jesus died for me and for you!


September 25, 1993

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
