The passage of time—
It seems such a Goliath.
It tells me that life is a downhill trip,
That at a given point
Strength, companionship, resources, inspiration, begin to wane.
The realization of eternity—
It seems such a David.
It tells me that life is an uphill trip,
That as we journey from sense to Soul
Our strength, our resources, our joy...
grow with us.
The time theory has such clout behind it—
Medical research, universal belief, the media.
The eternity premise has only the Word of God behind it,
Seems helpless as a slingshot against a spear,
A youth...
against a Goliath.
Funny thing about this one—
The end is already written.
The eternity of good, like David, will win.
The Goliath of life in fading matter, will fall.
Don't let those six cubits scare you...
much less the span!
