Notes About The Poem

Again, I Stop at a Fork in the Road

Again, I Stop at A Fork in the Road

Again, I stop at a fork in the road
And trust experience will guide me.
One way looks rough; the other, not so easy,
And so I must choose which path to follow.
I weary of the weight from carrying my load
(Others have regressed for fear of consequence)
And regret past choices and where they’ve led,
That I would about-turn and not be bold.
After ascertaining my dilemma, I reach out for advice;
The thought of being wrong frightens me.
I realize I cannot face the future alone
And pray God forgives me for my cowardice
In procrastinating my time by idleness.
Without belief in Christ, there is no hope.
