In the Direction of Hope

Folder: 
Personal (Hope)

You can follow your heart

down the path of selfish dreams

and result at a dead end

marked with heartache

and suffering.



Or you can choose to consult

the map of your destiny

and let yourself

be navigated by

the unfailing compass.



Watch out for

those detours

and diversions

meant to test your trust

on the one who leads you.



Do not lose your focus

along the narrow highway

and become

distracted by

the surrounding scenery.



Maintain your faith

and you will not deviate

off course but will

reach your destination,

a place to call home.

You can follow your heart
down the path of selfish dreams
and result at a dead end
marked with heartache
and suffering.

Or you can choose to consult
the map of your destiny
and let yourself be navigated by
the unfailing compass.

Watch out for those detours
meant to test your trust
on the one who leads you.

Do not lose focus
along the narrow highway
and become distracted by
the surrounding scenery.

Maintain your faith
and you will not deviate
off course but will
reach your destination,
a place called home.

What a nice first read and visit I have had with you today. I am new to Post Poems and just beginning to venture out to different poets sites.

A very meaningful read. I hope your path will continue to move in the direction of hope.

Blessings,
