Journey forth if you dare There is always more than one way to go One is simple, just go with the flow It is straight and even keeled No bumps, twists and turns, All green, flat, as far as the eye can see Second is hard, you must work at it for the prize Twists and turns, Ruts, bumps, no visibility in places Sometimes you can't see past your face Third is most difficult you see We make it that way Harder than it has to be Mountains are high, rivers rage, oceans pounding Each road we take puts us on another one then another Even the simplest can turn out to be the worst nightmare of all The most difficult can end on easy street We are told we pick our own road and we do Yet there is the twist It does not matter which of those first three you pick Why? why does it not matter? Because life is never simple It is never all green pastures and rosey days Life is sometimes harder, many times we can't decide what to do Decisions we make put us in deep ruts that seem impossible maneuver Other times it is so difficult we get stuck Can go no further I have been told it is all in the choices you make This is true yet it is not Our choices affect but we are tested repeatedly in life What do you mean? you might ask Life is what you put into it If you pick the easy road something always happens A flat tire, the flu, overdrawn checking account Pick the harder path You might go for days without a mishap Smooth road ahead, no problems Suddenly the road floods Pick the most difficult path One day you are in hell The next you are sailing on easy street The choice of roads matters not As long as you put your trust in God Or the God of your religion He is the one that puts the ruts, storms, and smooth sailings into your life Trust in him to get you through the day Sometimes when things are truly bad You think I won't make it another day I just can't Ask Him, Tell Him how you are feeling He is listening even when we think He is not If your path follows Him and you trust in Him You will find every obstacle is conquerable Every wave is rideable Every mountain is crossable Instead of thinking God hates me today Remember He is challenging you for a reason Strenghtening you for times to come He knows the future we do not Right now at this moment I write this Because I am at my breaking point Instead of going off the deep end Going crazy I bow my head God, You are the power, the love and light in my life Please I can't take anymore Please I beg Your mercy HELP ME PLEASEE HELP ME I know in my heart and soul He heard me and will remove an obstacle He will send me help A sign of some sort will arrive Instead of saying I should have picked the other road Simply say HELP ME
