Severe Is The Lesson Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

A severe,
And lasting lesson to learn.
Is the presence,
Of the present faith tester.
Testing all who claim,
Their faith has been...
Unquestioned and devoted.
With God uppermost,
To rely upon to solved what is wrong.
Showing everyone the way,
How to hear, listen and obey.
Using faith done to do,
No longer to fake but prove.

A severe and lasting lesson to learn.
Many have already,
Taken it to pass.
The ones to have faced obstacles...
While chased by doubts and fear.
Tears to cry them it seemed for years.
With a doing to sacrifice,
A letting go of Worldly possessions.
And those to love not to see again.
To do to know,
God will eventually show them the way...
Where to find that right path.
With a praying to God to faithfully ask...
For forgiveness to choose,
Stubbornness, self importance and greed!
