Choices

Now, here comes sorrow forcing me,
He takes my hand and tries to lead,
But I hold back and won't proceed.
I will not go.

Now, here comes sadness up to me.
Come be with me,I hear him say,
Yet,I refuse to go that way,
I will not go.

Now, here comes comfort pure and free,
And He invites, not forces me.
He picks me up and carries me,
I'll go with Thee.

Now here comes happiness for me,
"Oh! Can it be? Is it for me?"
Take it my child , I'll stay with Thee,
Now take it all, I'll set thee free.

Floria,

This is a wonderfully written poem with a beautiful message. I love the repetition that begins each strophe. And the way each strophe ends. Your rhythm and meter are perfect, as are your choice of words. This is a superb work, Floria.

Thank you so much cheryl..I was sorrowing over my son and this came to me, and I thought, well, I have to make a choice, I do pray a lot, but I also have to follow what God tells me to do. So I decided to take what God gives me, The joy of life, and then I wrote this. thanks for answering, floria

All you have to do is day "yes" and he will come into your heart and direct your feet on the straight and narrow path to glory
