Detour of His Heart
All the signs said, “DETOUR.”
as he followed for nearly an hour
and ended a block away from
where the two of them had begun.
But if he hadn’t seen those signs
he would surely have died
crashed off the bridge’s end
never to be seen again.
Signs, such as; when he went straight to her voice-mail.
He kept calling but to no avail.
When she finally called him… late
she wanted only to break their date.
Now, how he thanks those signs.
Signs of all kinds
like when she went away
and didn’t say where, he was blessed that day.
The final sign - “DANGER - TURN AROUND”
put his feet back on the ground
saved his heart from another disaster.
Met someone, now his heart’s beating faster.
