The Narrow Gate

The wider the road
The world seems to say
Is much smoother travel
Or so it’s portrayed
Take care where you enter
For to your dismay
The more narrow road
Is a much better way

Enter through the narrow gate
Follow the road less traveled
For wide is the gate most seem to choose…
It leads many to come unraveled

A road that is wide
Can lead to destruction
Boggles the mind
With it's lack of construction
A road that is narrow
Full of instruction….
Leads one to life
Not it’s reduction
