"I'm an atheist",
This acquaintance said.
And proud of it, it would seem.
Sad to hear for those
Of us who aren't.
Her life is not what it could be,
Things go awry,
Though she does try
To make things work.
How much better it would be
If she gave God His rightful place.
Eventually, perhaps soon,
She may change her tune,
Be willing at last to face
What awaits us all.
No one is ever so far away
From Him who is ever near,
Who loves us all, His very own,
That we can't change our course,
And to our loving Father give
What He richly deserves.
It is the smartest, the best,
The only way to live.
