Tablets Of Sand Poem by Loyd C Taylor Sr
Tablets Of Sand
I ran down towards the ocean,
Since the threatening waves were gone.
I climbed up on a massive rock,
Which stood firmly and all alone.
Then words of my life came freely
Flowing down to my writing hand,
So kneeling there by the ocean
I wrote them on tablets of sand.
Finished, I stood to consider
Just what my life's words had to say.
When suddenly the tide rushed in,
Washing them so quickly away!
On that day I learned a lesson
After watching this all unfold,
It was a story of my life
Of two ways it may be retold.
Did I write on the Solid Rock,
Which stands firm, knowing not a fear?
Or on the tablets made of sand
Where the waves make them disappear?
Then the words of Jesus came to me from Matthew 7 about the wise man and the foolish man.
Mat 7: 24-27 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: (25) And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. (26) And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: (27) And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
I hope you enjoy, Loyd
I enjoyed) And I think that it depends on your faith. If you believe in what you're doing, then you're writing it on the rock.
