Down His Path



Troubles of insignificance

posture and pose to my heart

they vie for my attention

each trying to get the lead part



I reflect on past transgressions

of honest love that had misguided hurt

and think of again how none of this matters

when your six foot under the dirt



I make myself pause to count my blessings

kiss my child’s head and say a prayer

an ode to the Lord above

for this there are no second guessing

as he has shown me so much love



The sadness I feel this day

is inner, cannot be shared or said

and I know that God will have His say

down his path I ask to be led



And to all the nay-sayers and doubters

I’ll pray for them, just the same

that someday they are amongst the shouters

that they too will come to Him, in Jesus’ name



Thank you oh thank you Lord

for all the love you’ve shown

and may I say

they’ll come a day

when to all your name...will be known



Amen
