CHOOSING GOD'S PEACE

line

He did not join the crowd last night
In drunken revel until the morning's light,
Nor did he degrade himself with ridiculous behavior
So unbecoming to his Savior
Whose Heart he seeks to please.

He hears the tales this morning after
Retold in shades of muted raucous laughter.
Those fun-time revelers mock him in their pleasure.
Well, let them! He holds a dearer treasure;
He's dwelling in God's peace.
