ASSURANCE

ASSURANCE – is yours based on insurance?

Or increased income and invested wealth?
Does it come from a fit body or impeccable health?

Perhaps it’s derived from a political system?
Or founded in the philosophies of ancient wisdom?

Or your mind’s intelligence or your drive to succeed,
Or from folks around you that supply what you need?

Possibly you believe it arises through obtaining power,
By securing an office at the top of some tower.

Or from the cleverness of man-made inventions,
The plan of pensions, or secret services no one mentions.

But ASSURANCE based on these things is not that sure,
For unpredictable happenings have the potential to occur…

The rich can become poor overnight,
The well fall sick and the strong lose might.

A government can be overthrown in a coo,
And a guru can’t always tell you, exactly what to do.

The mind tends to fail, along with ambition,
And the people around you succumb to attrition.

The king of the castle can come tumbling down,
That control is a façade behind the shine of a crown.

And the ingenuity of humankind, though inspiring,
Will not prevent you from eventually expiring.

So if ASSURANCE is a confident certainty about something,
Where do you find it in a world certain of nothing?

There is one place, present from your very first breath,
That remains constantly steadfast even unto to your death.  

You see, ASSURANCE of the greatest worth,
Comes from The Maker of heaven and earth.

God guarantees peace and endurance,
And that is the truest form of ASSURANCE.
