Commentary

I know that the second stanza is weak. But I felt a certain urgency in publishing it on the night when I wrote it. I wrote on Facebook, “I felt an urgency in getting this out there. Is it for you?”

A wise person would probably respond, “Make sure your ambitions align with God’s purpose.” More easily said than done.
