Better things yet to come

Where I am and where I'll be,
does not depend on you or me.
It depends on He
the Mighty,
Merciful and
Wise
Who is aware of what I say and do,
He sees all truth and lies.
But sometimes I forget and continue to chase,
Worldly pleasures in a haste.
The beauty, the bucks, and the glances,
All leave me betting my chances.
For better things yet to come,
When this chapter is over and done.

One day I will be free...

One day I will be free.
Free from all that binds me to this Earth
This Earth that is as breathtaking as the red Rose with a fragrance that entices and allures, but when you get too close the thorns attack and you bleed
I do not want to get close
But I will look after the Rose and I will not neglect it
I'll Feed it
Water it
Protect it from harm
Give but never take
Because if I take I'll be doomed
So blinded by the beauty of the flower
I will ignore the thorns that will one day come for me
And I will forget the inevitable truth that my Rose will one day wither to dust
How can I place my happiness in something that will never last?
