Never Bear the Rod
By Arley Steinhour 110417

Praise to you, Oh Lord, my God,
As I start this Sabbath Day,
In Supplication, You Spare the Rod,
For Repentant, that had gone Astray.

Five days ago, was Annual Celebration,
Of, Halloween, Founded on Dead, and Ghost,
In Day of ‘Return,’ not of ‘Creation,’
Where, Praise of God, be First and Foremost.

The Catholic Church, back in Time,
Called man to Remember the Dead,
In Prayer and Gifts, of food, or a ‘Dime,’
That they could sleep safely, in Bed.

Throughout Millennium, focus did change,
Into the present-day gifting, of Candy,
To children, in Costume-dress-Strange,’
‘Super-Hero, Princes, or Video-Game-Dandy.

So many Preachers, called this day, to be Sin,
As, ‘Not in the Bible,’ and, ‘Reborn Can’t Play,’
But, there is a way, to Regain being ‘King-Pin,’
It’s easy as Pie, ‘Through the Words that we Say.’

Present a Query, to their ‘Trick or Treat’ Call,
Look, into their eyes, and seriously Question:
‘Do you Love Jesus?’ (Mouths may Smile, or Fall,
If They that say ‘Yes,’ send to ‘Right-hand Station.’

To all that say ‘No,’ or ‘Don’t Know,’ place at Left-hand,
When Finished, begin on the ‘Left,’ for their reward,
Until you only have they, standing at the Right-Hand,
Say, ‘You receive Double, for your God/Jesus-Concord.’

Use, Pennies, Nickle’s, and Dime’s, in a container,
The better it rattles, the greater will be the Lesson;
To the ‘Parent,’ there, of believers, ‘Gift a Retainer,’
For Teaching the Best Choice, of Life’s Delicatessen.

The, Left-child will remember, ‘One Dip,’ for not ‘Loving,’
The, Right-child will remember, the ‘Two Dip Reward,’
All Parents, will need answer, God’s Truth, in the ‘Gifting,’
And, ‘Seek Salvation, or Strength, in God/Jesus’ Concord.’

Though you’re called to Ignore, ‘the Day of Satan’s Sin,’
Convert that day, by ‘Salvation Witness,’ back to our God,
The Saved Shall Gain, and, the Lost may. ‘Claim and Win,’
“God/Jesus’ Eternal Justification;” to ‘Never Bear the Rod.’

AMEN
