My Walk

16 November 1998

Sometimes I reach a desperation
To which I feel there is no end
I keep on looking, seeing nothing
But the lengthy road ahead
I keep on searching for the answers
Keep on reaching for my dreams
But every day the sun keeps rising
And every night I lie to dream
The answers never come right to me
The road keeps winding to and fro
And when remembrance steals upon me
I think about days long ago
The road behind me is a long one
Hard and rugged it has been
And I still think if I could find them
So many answers lie within
But that long path at my back
Only holds a history
Of lessons learned and lessons lost
That only I shall see
And when the sun rises up tomorrow
I hope that I may see
All the trials within the day
That have been given me
May my feet not be too heavy
And my sorrows not too grim
To overcome my desperation
And carry on my walk again

Note: I always like to read the words I wrote before I fully gave my life to Christ because it is now obvious that God was always with me, as I strayed from Him in my early adult life. He never left my side. He always watched over me and always gave me a gentle nudge in the right direction, until I finally came face to face with Him again! What an awesome thing to realize and be especially thankful for now that I've finally come home!
