Where Do I Go From Here?
Dear Lord,
It is just me again,
at the ending of another day.
I want to thank you for your presence
as you walked with me today.
My Father, I am so sorry
that tonight
I come to you in tears.
I have to please ask you this question.
Where do I go from here?
This constant, fearful question!
Sometimes, I think I've heard you say ~
"The path is just before you.
Walk in faith down it today."
You know of all the circumstances
of what now has become my life.
Is this all of my own making?
Have I heard your answer right?
For each day now is ending,
just as the day before.
I seem to only be surviving
I know there must be something more.
I am getting a little desperate Lord.
I have come tonight to say
That I really do not understand
how I could have lost my way.
I do not mean to question
what I thought, was very clear,
but,
should the path that I now am walking
leave me to come to you in tears?
Be gentle with me Father.
I really need to know.
Another path now stands before me.
Is this the way that I should go?
I know you hold the answer
to all I've ask of you today.
Touch my heart with wisdom.
I will give you all the praise.
So . . . again, Dear Lord, I ask you
to hold me very near
and somehow truly show me
Where do I go from here?
I think we all ask that question at least once in our lives.
We all wonder why. We all wonder where.
Great
This is an absolutely beautiful piece.It touched me deep down within the soul.
It is a question we must all ask ourselves, but, faith is where our answer will come from.
Well spoken.

Gentle is the night♥
This is a wonderful poem. It is beautifully written and quite ingenuous. It expresses that which is in the heart of many of us. Thank you.

WOW! Lesa, you met this challenge quite well. Not only did you create an awesome poem, you also created a beautiful prayer.
Great job!

well I am glad to see others get in on the challenge fun......
this is such an awesome title as well of body of work.... you seem to always have the words to prove worth reading.... the challenge is just something to get those words stirring....
I think you did this title a great justice
Lesa, when I gave you the title it came from an ache deep inside me that is ever-present these days. There are things YOU know about that won't do to post here, but that keep me in constant turmoil until my own answer comes from the only One who has that kind of wisdom. This is exactly the type of thing I hoped to see. Your work as always is lovely and thought-provoking. I've read some poetry that is so full of pretense that it loses its impact. Yours, on the other hand is a plain and simple stick of DYNAMITE that can blow a person's emotions out of the water. I love what you have done with this title! It is utterly beautiful and I wouldn't change a thing since it is exactly the way I feel myself. God bless you and know that I join you in your prayers.
Love,
Jessica
Hey! When do we start the next game?
Lesa, I read this and almost cried. I feel the same way you do. I ask the same questions. I am in the same boat. Thank you.
