THE LAST HOLE

March 1, 2011 22rants

This is the last hole.
I’ve finally made it.
The end of a journey has come
from walking down long fairways,
negotiating steep roughs, bunkers,
and the occasional gusting wind,
in the hopes of getting on the green,
and acing it with the first putt.

Living for immortality
was something I had always dreamed of.
But now, as I watch the ball
slowly rolling into the cup,
no longer do I feel satisfied
in pleasing the roaring crowd.
Instead, the thought of giving everything
I had, either on my best day,
or on the worst, to please God
and to thank Him for all that He has done
gives me much greater joy
than any trophy or any award I’ll ever win.

Because without God, there is no golf!
