Crossroads

Facing   challenges
                           decisions demand
                           midst rife  choices
                           along multifarious
                           alternative-offers
                           with options A - Z
                           in t r y i n g times
+++++my heart admits apprehension distress+++++
+++++causing  m e  to languish in a n g u i s h+++++
+++++nonetheless, God in His mercy’s might+++++
+++++offers gracious hope by  H I S  wisdom+++++
                           that illumines mind
                           in seeking His favor
                           via faith and prayer
                           toward  triumphant
                           freedom-bliss of an
                           optimized endeavor
                           around H I S peace.
