New Beginnings

8/15/2019

 

New beginnings always come with promise

Promise preceeds failure

I want only to trust what I know

Quit the foolishness let it go

 

I never see eye to eye

With what others see occurring

Perhaps my soul already knows

No sense rushing or scurrying

 

The advice of a father

Always whispering in my mind

Knowing already I suppose

Of all I'll leave behind

 

My maker He knows the plans

He has for me and demands

I'm not meant to have that of which I dream, he has me in his hands

 

Free will we each are given

But the truth is it falls out of grip

Like the match of the little match girl

Not controlling her destiny or trip

 

I'm tired, I give my maker full control

But know I do not have any

No telling which way I will go

The decisions are way too many
