Our Way < !signature-->The old road was broad in our sight; It's pleasures attractive and bright. They soon became dark, confining and stark; while the crowd laughed, ignoring our plight. Rebelling against His commands, feeling bound by laws and demands, choosing our ways we hid from His gaze not knowing that He understands. Through darkness of storm and of night we fought without hope, without sight but He came to forgive and to raise us to live in abundant, unchangeable light. Now narrow and straight is our way; we are free to love and obey. Our Lord breaks the chains of our sins and it's stains that had prompted our going astray. I sit and ponder and lift thoughts from my consciousness, spilling them forth to here, raising my lit cigarette and blowing smoke in the face of reality!

I really like this. Narrow is the way, thats for sure. The path to destruction is a wide one. You made it clear in your well written words, that "he" is the only way. Deb |

Thank you all for you comments, however I must say that I am not sure if I am back or not yet, so at the moment, let us just say 'visiting'. I have missed you all greatly and if I decide not to stay back right now, you might see me pop in every now and again! *hugs* to you all!

Melanie!!! What a pleasant surprise this is! Sorry I didn't get to it sooner, I've started work, and just hit over 60 hours today. I'm SO tired. I love this poem! I have missed your work a GREAT deal around here! It says sooooo much, and every bit of it truth! HUGz <*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future. |
