One day it dawned on me
Like heavy bricks on top of me
I could barely breath under the weight
Of having gone so far away
And from there the heaviness grew
More and more my path had skewed

Where have you gone?
I dared to ask
I’m left empty once again
How did I get here?
I dared ask
I guess from series of events
I was often lead astray
But now I wondered
Was I here to stay?

Amongst the rubble there I lay
Under the weight, I could not stand
But now I hear a silent voice
you gently grabbed me from the floor
So carefully you cleaned me up
And asked me if I’ve had enough?
Enough of what?
I dared to ask

Enough of running from me hands?
I never want to let you go
But still I know that you’d want to
you always run and hide from me
But don’t you see?
The plans I have for you are good
And I know better than you do

You always tend to run away
And get yourself in so much pain
But when you yell I hear your voice
And run to you with open arms
So this time won’t you stay with me?
He wiped my eyes so I could see

My face has fallen in my hands
And tears have filled them now instead
He glanced upon my teary face
And told me it would be ok
Than he whispered in my ear
I will never be too far my dear

Beautiful work! It resonates deeply with me, as i had, until lately, had this penchant for going my own way and hurting myself in the process. Not anymore. Now i will my will to Gods will; regardless of whether or not i like it. That, afterall, is what is means to walk humbly before God

Thank you Christchilde I am glad you can relate to my poem and I have gone through it. I caused so much hurt on myself and people i cared about because if the paths i took. You are right, the best way to go is to humbly walk with the Lord. God bless you
