Poetry

Whoever trusts in God are as a mountain,
Endures forever and never to be shaken;
As the mountains are surrounding Seoul,
So does the Lord for His people from peril;
When we are young we think not on danger,
Especially in the years of being a teenager;
We tend not to think about the riskiness,
Being a daredevil with a lot of friskiness;
A tendency of a lack of fear and respect,
Because of our inexperience to reflect;
That is what makes it interesting on fear,
As we mature in age caution will appear;
Finally showing respect what can harm,
With warnings in our head that will alarm;
I guess it really is about the same for me,
With a different light that I now can see;
Before I actually could have cared less,
But respect now assures His blessedness;
I fear the Lord with a faith that's intense,
Trusting in God to aid me in my defense.
