THE LONELY PATH

 

Along a journey I stand, 
Believe me, it seems like a dream, 
Couldn\'t imagine where I am, 
Down the road, I saw four roads, 
East, West, North and South, 
Fears cautioned my legs, 
Going and coming I stood, 
How do I journey these roads?
I am caught in the web, 
Journeying the road unknown, 
Kneeling, I muttered some prayers, 
Lord have mercy, and direct my path, 
Moving I took the East road, 
Nobody cares, as each takes their roads, 
Oh! Lord where am I?
Please come to my aid, I plead, 
Questioning the fate I found myself
Ready to face my fate, 
Should I stop or keep moving?
Truely, the wide and narrow roads exist
Up the heavens, a voice spoke, 
Visualizing the image of Him, I woke, 
Wishing it was never a dream, 
X-raying the fate of my soul, 
Yearning to know Him more, 
Zealously doing His will.
