LAY UP YOUR TREASURES
.
.
How different it all might have been if we hadn't met a Certain Someone
The mighty river of our lives changing course by happenstance, place and time
The accident of our birth as helpless infants
The child's wide eyed faith we had in others
These vulnerabilities couldn't be helped
Until as adults we are given the gift of discernment
Then we take our time to evaluate our situation
The types of people involved
How much committment, how many resources
Will be required of us
How different life is once we can choose
The wisest course, the noblest companions
The least rocky path
We did not know, could not know
What we know now
Our hard-won discernment bought at great price
And worth a King's ransom placed in our hearts and minds
Where no rust can corrode it, and no thief whisk it away.
