Avoiding the Path To Sadness
Avoiding the path to sadness
See the path
that never ends...
familiar ways
just like a friend
winding slowly through
ancient memories...
pausing briefly
to disturb my ease
and inner peace...
that was dwelling
in my mind...
takes it's time
walking the path...
to sadness
All my past troubles
they appear...
kill my hope
fill me with fear
Never ending
feelings of despair...
my pleasant dreams
they vanish in the air
and my illusions...
were supplanted by
dark night...
shading my light...
spurring me on...
the path to sadness
And through my haze
I came to see...
God's love was waiting
there for me
He reached out
to me and took
my hand...
helped me face
my fears
and understand...
that all my sorrows...
will all vanish
with my faith...
love conquers pain...
un-paves the path
to sadness.
Now I walk
a path of light...
without darkness
without fright
knowing that
my God is there for me
vanquishing my cares
anxieties
and my life...
has been blessed
with Godly hope...
that helps me cope
Avoid the pain
upon the path...
to sadness.
