Detours

Being forced upon a pebbly garden path

From a chosen well liked road

Often makes us wonder why

As we realign our already cumbersome load.

We like to think that we

Know what we are about

So we resist changes because

We don't know how they will turn out.

Faith has taught me not 

To listen to whispers of doubt

But to trust in Jesus

To work all things out.

For I have been taught to 

Walk by faith and not by sight

Over treacherous terrain 

Even through dark of night.

So when my path becomes uncharted

And familiar landmarks are gone

I keep my eyes on the Shepherd

Knowing I'm not walking alone. 

You see, even when I don't understand

I trust in Jesus to never

Let go of my hand.

Good morning dear readers! Whew! Never forget to begin your day with prayer because you never know what situations  you will find in the hours of your day. So always be prayerful, with thanksgiving and ask Jesus to guide you along life's way. These lines of prose explain the gist of what the above poem is all about. You see folks, poetry is not that difficult to figure out.

It's like this, if you like working puzzles, then you might be a good fit for storied poetry. I like poetry that tells a story and that is what you will find in most of mine.
Be blessed!
