boundaries – v5

A framework, a border,
a wall, a keep, safety
boundaries, guardrails
a hedge of protection

A line defining
who we are, really,
boundaries to keep out
the enemies, predators

Lines to lead us
to Almighty God;
boundaries of comfort
boundaries of challenge

Lines to lead us
away from the world
boundaries, guardrails
a hedge of protection

Boundaries to follow
commands for our walk,
leading to heaven
at the end of this life
