Your Helm of Life

Sometimes life makes no sense,
True worth in dollars and cents;
As it seems like time passes by,
Makes it leave you asking why.

Filled with trials and tribulations,
Not much pleasure or jubilations;
No real purpose in having a goal,
For to be satisfying to your soul.

Maybe your biggest of all fears,
It only lasts for about eighty years;
And then your life will terminate,
Virtually impossible to negotiate.

Then your body begins to wear out,
Maybe your heart without a doubt;
No longer in shape as use to be,
Loss of hearing and harder to see.

Maybe Christ is not in your life,
Causing you the toils and strife;
You will know of the next realm,
When allowing God at your helm.
