You would think
the smell of death would
have the power to break down
unforgiveness and stubborn pride.
What I mean is
there might be a coming to terms
with stuff,
like slights and rifts and differing opinions
and even some bigger things,
when coming to terms with
ending.
Yet, the broken breaches
caused by words poorly spoken
are a series of little deaths
adding up to
mortal wounds -
irreconcilable differences.
And, being human,
we clutch tightly to what is ours -
fighting for
the last word,
the last breath,
and leave behind
a legacy
of regret.
If you died today, are you absolutely certain that you would go to heaven? You can be! TRUST JESUS NOW
