Guidance
This is a poem in concern of my life
Plastered on paper in plain black and white
Written in ink for the whole world to see
Asking for guidance - this is my plea......
Not to be left
facing hard times alone...
Standing in darkness
searching for "home"
I pray I'll always
have someone to love
Who'll care to give me
that gentle shove.
Someone to catch me
when I start to fall
And speed me up
when I've slowed to a crawl
In return I'd devote
my heart and my soul
Whatever it's worth
in my heart it would hold.
Lord, guide me towards knowledge
and peace of mind
And to get though safe
should I get in a bind
I seek to take life
with strength and pride
Knowing when to stand tall
and when to run hide.
Hiding only from things
that will hold me down
I want to soar with the eagles,
not be pinned to the ground.
I pray for good health
to those closest to me
For all to feel safe
and yet still so free
To be looked on with eyes
of intelligent power
Beaming on all
from His almighty tower.
I hope I am never
in this position again
A state of confusion
far beyond end
I basically know
what I want out of life
I just need to take
my failures in stride.
Failures should never
cover up your dreams
Store them and use them
as "learning beams"
Making mistakes
is natural with man
Just keep trying harder -
do the best you can
With the eye and guidance
from the man above
Your courage and wisdom -
it should be enough
Trust your own judgment
don't ever turn away
Sucess in life and peace of mind
will someday pass your way.
