Crossroads
I have walked along this road so
long,
The
twists and turns, most of great concern
So
many, the ones who traveled it before me
Their
trials evident in the ware of the path
The
waters that flow adjacent to the road
Proof
of the tears that have fallen over the years
Crystal
clear, with a tinge of blue
With
the pain that was felt by both me and you.
Our
elders stronger because of this journey
Illness
striking the young and old
Bitter
winters, freezing cold
Blazing
summers, scorching the soul
The
stories told along this path
Some
will make you cry, others will make you laugh
Memories
that we hold so dear
Wars
fought, their death brings fear
Family
value of no importance any longer
People
grew apart, bonds were broken; not made stronger
Hate
filled hearts, instead of love
No
mention of Gods word, sent from above
The
oldest elder now being my Father
The
greatest dreamer I've known
Once
he was bitter and drunken
Now
he lives for God, thoughts of drinking sunken
I feel the
crossroads are closing in
I
beg God to forgive me for all my sin's
Has
the time come for my finale end?
Will
the next words be, "Contact her next of kin"?
All
through my life, great lesson's I've learned
But
something was missing, something I yearned.
I
did seek to find just what it was I needed
Blinded
by sin, Gods word I should of Heeded
I
never denied our Heavenly Father
Will
he forgive me and let me enter in
Or
has he grown tired and just wont bother
I
want to see heaven, please forgive my sin!
My
dear family please come together
Love one another, trust God forever
Life is so short and nothing is certain
Don't close the door, don't shut the curtains
God said there would be tests and trials
Don't let your sin be the top of the pile.
Trust in his word, walk in his path
Love and live, smile and laugh
Death is forever
Cold and decaying
Live for him now so you can rise above
Think of HIS death if you need an extra shove.
Lets all join back up, in his wonderful Heaven of love
Where no one will suffer nary again
He knows the path, just where we have been
Choose the correct crossroad
Its there at the End!!!!
