Lord guide me
Down the river of life
Let a thousand
Rivulets and tributaries
Of your endless grace
Cleanse my soul
And lift me gently
From shoals of indecision
Self-doubt and temptation
Pilot me past
The swirling rapids
The jutting rocks
The whirlpools of this
Fast and reckless life
And let this mighty river
Flow into the sea
Of your everlasting love
Definitely a sense of spiritual undertones throughout this self-reflective and peaceful poem, Terry.. i particularly like the flow and development....quite like a river in your metaphor . ~! GLad u shown me this...worthy of a read and more. Smilesz. Thanxs~!~! Take care....~!
