Notes About The Poem

Crossroads

The main crossroads 
Of life, cars speed    
Noisily by headed 
For the intersection
Carefree or troubled
Times brings a sigh
Life's highway can
 Reject, bisect, inspect, reflect, each direction
Set your affections upon things above, my son
Then the major highway will head to the right
The road will narrow and traffic will get lighter
Then you will
Know you took
The right road
At the light
Each intersection
Will become easier
Right choices support
A good  life
Wrong choices 
Bring much strife
Choose  the  right 
At the intersection
Life will flow 
Much easier, there
Will be bumps
But you will 
Face them with
Your strong faith

Alexis Y. Date: 9/25/2021 1:03:00 AM Hi Sara, This is a well-written entry for the contest theme. When one comes to a crossroads in life which road do they choose, God willing they are lead by him to make the right choice. Best wishes in the contest. :-)Alexis Soupmail Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 9/25/2021 4:43:00 AM It has been edited but, alas, it still isn't perfect. Sara Sara Kendrick Date: 9/25/2021 3:44:00 AM Alexis, The Bible tells us our responsibility is to pray for people to come to an acceptance of God. If people would pray in general then specifically for individuals then we could see a out pouring of the Holy Spirit and people coming to God. I appreciate your visit. Sara

Delice Arleen Skelly Date: 9/24/2021 8:26:00 AM Quote:Right choices support life Wrong choices bring much strife ........ Oh, so true...Delice Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 9/24/2021 2:42:00 PM Delice, Thanks for pointing out my quote that could be added to my quotes. I checked to try and make sure that I did not put in memory something that belonged to someone else and I could not find anything so I guess it is mine. Sara

Brian Strand Date: 9/24/2021 1:33:00 AM Which road Sara(as Frost put it)the choice for all thinkers Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 9/24/2021 4:00:00 AM Brian, Our freedom to choose faith or reject it is the major crossroads in our life. However, I think God can give another opportunity or opportunities but we have to make that choice. We have all kinds of choices in life that will effect our future. We are free to make a choice until we choose then the choice controls the person's life but if God had that way mapped out for you then opportunity can open the door again. Your visits are welcomed and appreciated. You add so much with your comments. Sara

Victor Buhagiar Date: 9/23/2021 8:31:00 AM On our small island we have too many cars. I dare not drive at night. Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 9/23/2021 8:35:00 AM Victor, We live rural and I don't drive much anymore but my husband and I have mostly given up driving in the cities or at least in the Atlanta area. We still do the smaller towns but not at night. I appreciate the visit. Sara
