Title: PRODIGAL SON Post by: verseode on May 04, 2008, 04:17:02 AM THE PRODIGAL The prodigal son was rather bored His world was endlessly dull He wondered if by getting some loot He could make his life more full. So off to dad he meekly went To claim what he was due He nearly fainted, the answer was yes And gladness did ensue. Off to a land of fun and games A Wiltshire of those days And lavished all his newfound wealth On women, cards and takeaways. Very soon he had none left His pockets empty were His friends had all deserted him Oh what a state, Oh er. The only option was to return A sad bedraggled son Expecting nothing but I told you so His journey back begun. All the way he feared the worst Disownment was expected But imagine his great surprise When joy he had detected. So even if we wander To pastures lush and green Our inheritance we may squander But God still reigns supreme. We can be forgiven His hand held out to us Grab it tight and don't let go And do not make a fuss. |
