The Delicate Balance

Do your best here
and accumulate what you can
to make your family happy
and be your family's man,
but don't lose sight
of the future far from here
where He alleviates worries
and any and all fear.
Do your best here
to provide loved ones comfort,
to make those around you
feel free from the hurt,
but don't focus so much
on supplying contentment on earth
when the focus should be solely
on the post-worldly birth.
Remember the fact
that there is nothing wrong
with doing your best here
and doing it for a time so long,
but push for the finish line
in anticipation of the arrival
of the Savior back here
and your own to heaven that will fulfill.

Let's Go Back

Let's go back,
let's go back to the place
where it was void
of the daily pointless race,
the place of peace,
the spot of tranquility
where all equated
in all of its equality,
the place of happiness,
the place of contentment
without the bickering
and blissfully void of the resentment.
Let's go back,
back to the moment we knew
the place that we were in
was the one thing that was good.
Let's remember what we felt
when we were there
without worries and frets,
without the slightest of care.
Let's remember
and let's go back
to the place of contentment
where there was nothing to lack.
