Poem

Darkness is all around me, where is the light?
Have I been blinded, and lost my sight?
Wherever I look, the truth I cannot see.
This is not, where I am meant to be.

How can good thoughts, just turn into bad?
I must be crazy, I’m sure I’ve gone mad.
My intentions were right, but my choices were wrong?
I’ve always been kind and tried to be strong.

I trusted in my human logic, and what I thought was best.
Now it’s very clear to me that I have been obsessed.
I was given life, a gift, not something I could earn. 
And about God’s gift of eternal life, as a child I surely did learn.

And with acceptance of His gift, my needs He’s always met.
My ego taught me to want more, to get all I could get.
I thought that I could do it all, and never needed rest.
But now that life has passed me by, I see I’ve failed the test.

Success at everything I tried, at least as seen by man,
But all of that means nothing now, since now I understand. 
God was willing all along, to show His way to me.
But no, I had to be myself and the world I had to see.

I’ve lived a happy, positive life with many good things done.
But only every now and then, did I live through God’s son.
I’m glad to say at seventy-eight, my life is still not through,
For God in all His precious love has more for me to do.

Now through His Word with lots of help, I’m doing things His way.
I pray that He will live through me and guide me every day.
And with Him, whether up or down, I’ve traveled each new hill.
And have a single soul’s desire, to live within His will.

I hope that some will come to see, our best is not enough.
It’s not about how hard we try or getting all that stuff.
If you know Jesus as your Lord and really want to win,
Follow His Spirit every day as He guides you from within.
