Super Bowl of Life

Your Life's Fourth Quarter?

  Ever think life being like the Super Bowl?
  Seeking a touchdown in life for your soul;
  The kick-off happens when you are born,
  Your parents huddle around for to adorn;
  Satan is the coach for that other team,
  His playbook having a diabolical scheme;
  Plays that you run come from life¡¯s events,
  Gaining yards during the down it represents;
  Each time you succeed is another first down,
  That brings you closer to the touchdown;
  Instead of minutes, play clock has years,
  Incomplete pass is a result of your fears;
  You loose some yardage by committing sin,
  A penalty is called in receiving discipline;
  Break a commandment and is an interception,
  Usually caused by Satan¡¯s deception;
  Accepting Christ is your winning score,
  Being your savior and coach forever more;
  Then the clock runs out winning your game,
  Your Heavenly reward that you can claim.
