God Speed

i put on my face a tooth filled grin rehashing bashing coming down hard on others and myself looking for fingers to point blame and all the while someday along this fork in the road i'll feel that smile and the ones in return i get back when the hurt has subsided and the lesson has been learned good fortune earned not simply wanted with burning yearning ache at every winding turn keep on walking down this straight path love his mercy and compassion take your blame move on yet fear the flame and his wrath God he loves us each and all he will pick you up when you fall even if you feel you must crawl and claw to get by it is a lesson learned damage done so still you try he knows you can take it therefore you are still alive so keep on this straight underpopulated road it's a long narrow journey so take a few friends to lighten your load then when you trip the fall is not so long they'll be there and care for you when you slip or if you are doing wrong and all along all the while these lessons learned will reinforce strengthen and brighten that smile when you think you don't believe God will be there he will never leave Amen forever with spirit, love, family, and friends a future with the Lord is one that will not end.
