The Fool and His Folly

There once was a jolly fool
And everybody thought he was cool
Until one day God a plan unfurled

Unbeknownst to all and to many
The fool was spending every spare penny
Thus was the fool trapped by his own folly

One day as the fool spent his last
A window of opportunity fell fast
Movement he saw from one and from many

A friendly man saw him there
With his wallet completely bare
And tried to reason him out

He realized he was caught
And paniced and faught
Until all his energy was spent

Realizing the error his ways
The fool sat and cried for days
Finding out the full damage his spending spent

To late was the cry
That the fool heard on nie
But could now not do a thing

His heart broke as he saw his closest friends
Hurt by what he'd done, call an end
Until finally all alone he wept

God called out to the fool there
All alone and totally bare
And asked to keep him company

The fool did desparately consent
And tried his best to repent
Of his past sins before God and man

In his future, consequences he saw there
Knowing that he would just have to bear
Even though his sin was taken

The fool became a wiser man that day
Than any of his life or his way
And prays for healing and restoration

Although the fool's future is uncertain
He relies on God to see though the curtain
And stopped spending his treasure on nothing
