I've done many things in life
to suit my own selfish means,
ignoring all the consequences,
creating my own destructive scenes.

I never heard God tell me what to do
through years and years of passing seasons,
so like a child who rebels in anger,
I've done things for all the wrong reasons.

Maybe if I messed up bad enough
He'd yell at me loud so I could hear,
I never would have disobeyed
if the instructions were more clear.

I guess it's time to get some Q-tips,
read the Bible and learn to pray
for a way to listen and a garbage can
in which to throw all my wrong reasons away.

Dixie,

It would be nice if life came with a book of instructions (I guess some would say it does). I like this poem and I say hang on to those Q-Tips! You never know who might be whispering.
