Momentary Pleasures

.
lion tamers and high-wire acrobats
clowns and elephants and crackerjacks,
fun one-hundred percent
another world under a circus tent...

sleeping bags and forest sounds
scary stories and silent campgrounds,
the cost of fun well spent
camping under the stars in a tent...

cake and ice cream and candles lit
party games and pretty-wrapped gifts,
a once a year fun event
birthdays in a park under a tent...

...momentary pleasures each put up,
it's fun, fun, fun, 'til its time to come down
to live forever under a new one put up
without hands, that'll never come down.
 

Acts 18:3
2 Corinthians 5:1-8
Hebrews 9:11
