OPPORTUNITIES LOST

HE LIVED A FULL LIFE,
WORDS UTTERED AT HIS GRAVE,
IF ONLY THEY KNEW,
HOW MISERABLY IN LIFE,
HE HAD FAILED.

FAILED TO LISTEN, 
TO WISDOM AND TRUTH,
FAILED TO OBEY 
RIGHTEOUS LAWS, 
AND PRINCIPLES.

FAILED TO FORGIVE, 
THOSE THAT HURT HIM 
A LONG TIME AGO.

AND SO HE DIED MISSING 
THE FULL ESSENCE OF LIFE,
WHICH WAS TO LOVE
AND FORGIVE 
AS GOD HAS DONE UNTO YOU.
