FUTURE

      The kids have upped and gone to school
      It makes you feel so obsolete
      You think that you should find a job
      To make your life complete
      The extra money sure would help
      With all your debts and needs
      Where's The Lord in all of this
      What does He think indeed.

      You've only ever been a parent
      Now you need to show
      That you can prove your usefullness
      You're fidgeting to go
      Stop and think of what you'll miss
      The roles you have at church
      Surely He will bless your acts
      Not leave you in the lurch.

      So pray and seek His way for you
      The peace that He can bring
      Will far outweigh your poor selfworth
      In service for your King
      You will gain a greater treasure
      Kingdom wealth is more
      Than all the world can throw at you
      His way for you is sure.
