There was a Calvin,
He was small,
a little to the round side,
nothing much on his mind,
always thinking life was a easy road,
going on with his life like he had an abundance of days,
not thinking what might happen tomorrow.
There is a Calvin,
He grew up,
His mind, filled with more things,
Things that were more complicated,
Still going through the phases of teenage life,
Living each day, knowing that he could pass anytime,
It wasn’t up to him to decide, but God,
Taking up more responsibilities…
Will there be a Calvin?
A question no one can answer,
Only God can,
If there was no more Calvin,
Would it make a difference?
Would people care?
People wonder, I wonder,
‘Would it make a difference if I just passed tomorrow?’
If you didn’t make a difference,
There would be no difference,
I always heard of making a difference,
Standing out in the crowd, not following so much,
But different has it’s ups and downs,
Different, You’re one of a kind, unique! Everybody is in their own way,
Different, You’re one of a kind, unique! You’re the only one on that lunch table,
I think sometimes, that just because people are different from the rest they get rejected,
If Jesus wasn’t different from the rest, He wouldn’t be hated so much by the pharisees,
If Jesus wasn’t different from the rest, He would not have been flogged and nailed to that cross,
If Jesus wasn’t different from the rest, He would not be betrayed,
If Jesus wasn’t different from the rest, He would not have been rejected by the people that one welcomed Him in,
If Jesus wasn’t different from the rest, He would not have carried all of our sins on that cross,
But,
Jesus was different.
He was hated by the pharisees,
He was flogged and nailed to the cross,
He was betrayed,
He was rejected by the people that once welcomed Him in,
He carried all our sins on the cross.
There is a price to pay for everything,
Being different is one of those things.
Not in our way. But His way.
It is hard, along the way, think it may get easier?
Don’t think so….
