Today, many people are arrogant and proud

Foolish enough to think they don’t need God

They don’t realize their every breath depends on Him

He, who created them, to them, the foolish, this is odd

 

We, like them, take many things for granted everyday

Like breathing and doing our regular routine even today

But what happens when things go very wrong?

And now we are maybe no longer healthy and strong.

 

What do we do now that life has dramatically changed?

All the things we took for granted are now re-arranged

Do we get an attitude of pity, anger, frustration or what?

So today, let’s tell God you appreciate what you’ve got

 

Today this poem addresses both sinners and saints

In these last times we know that even the strong faints

Because of all the wars, famine, hatred and financial stress

Yes, we know this nation and the world is really in a mess.
