His Lead

like a child 
i walk
I run
then stumble and fall
and fear to get up
knowing that with each new step
has new potential to end in defeat. 
Like a bird
with broken wings
I gently hop along
pain is blinding
and with each hop
it's searing
and there is nothing I fear if not pain
like a train
i blunder through life
being guided
but still blind.
like a blind man 
i fear to take His hand
because so many times 
I've been abused
so like the girl i am
i will close my eyes
and blindly follow my Father's lead

    I find two ways to take this one, Manouchka. It's very thought provoking!
