A Thought
Leads to,
A Desire.
A Desire,
Leads to,
An Action.
An Action,
Leads to,
A Habit.
A Habit,
Leads to,
A Character.
A Character,
Leads to,
A Destiny.
A bad thought,
Nip it,
At its bud.
A good thought,
Nurture it,
As I said.
Your thought of a drink,
Kindles a desire,
For a peg.
Your desire for a peg,
Takes you,
To the bar.
Your visit to the bar,
Leads you,
Drink a peg.
Your first peg in the bar,
Makes you,
A habitual visitor.
Your character,
As a regular visitor,
Names you, a drunkard.
As a drunkard you're,
The day isn't far,
For your rest in the grave.
A thought of the Lord,
Creates a desire,
To see Jesus.
A desire to see Jesus,
Leads you,
To the nearest Church.
Your visit to the Church,
Makes you,
A habitual visitor.
Your habitual visit to the Church,
Converts you,
A devotee of the Lord.
You're, as a servant of the Lord,
Destined to His abode,
On the day of judgment.
Now, you know the recipe,
Of your own destiny,
To keep you ever happy.
