Sometimes my Christian life seems
A game of snakes and ladders.
I edge forward and backward
With the top a long way away.
Snakes lurk - even
After I throw a six. Some long.
Glimpses of heaven - I, sometimes
Climb where Jacob looked.
Sometimes the top of a ladder
Is close to a serpent’s mouth.
Holy Spirit, help me
To overleap the snakes.
Lord Jesus, help me
To reach and climb the ladders.
Father, help me to remember
The home prepared for me.
