Find Our Way

Have we fallen through the cracks
coming from the wrong side of the tracks

Rather living somewhere inside the divide
for no physical locality do we reside

If you could cup my passionate spirit inside your hand
Perhaps my ambitious tenacity you'd understand

And with that same hand write our fate in stone
but I know we are atleast safe and not alone

If you could live inside my heart
Perhaps you'd know my spirit isn't a la carte'

For inside I'm whole in this broken world
Our special song sings prayers to the lord

It sings praises of glory for God's metaphor
Is this world civil? I think not, I implore

Realize now his plans our bigger than mine
We plan a house, and He plans our eternal design

If you could listen to my song never sung
Perhaps my heart would never again get rung

We all come from somewhere they say
But it is only with Jesus we find our way

And they say all who wander are not lost
But at what price and what the cost?

Hey Susan, this is just wonderful. I like the rhyming couplets and the message the poem sends. If only...some will never know. This flows with such grace and reverence. Great job! Joseph
