The Treadmill  
     
 

I think that I shall never see
A treadmill that is fit for me.

 

For when I walk (it seems insane),

But in the same place I remain.

 

A bit like life that’s fast or slow;

But, in the end, where did we go?

 

We walk and work and sometimes run;

But, in the end, what have we done?

 

No purpose, but such busy days –

Busy in a thousand ways.

 

Yet at the end you’re empty still,

And then you’re handed one last bill.

 

There is a way to change it all

And gain some ground before you fall . . .

 

For life that’s full and treadmill-free,

Walk with Jesus constantly.
