Louise Nelson Poet Carpe Diem

On the Right Road

One of the hardest things to deal with in life
Is when you're stuck in situations that cause nothing but strife 
Unable to move from point a to point b
Unable to move out of abject poverty 
Unable to have relationships that are beneficial and true
Unable to leave that environment which has seemed to have swallowed you
Now hating those who are progressing and moving ahead 
With bitterness in your heart, angry and seeing red

Now a blind man was on the road a beggar named Bartimaeus
Stuck in his situation when he encountered the Lord Jesus 
He was on the right road that day with a chance to change his situation 
He was on the right road that day to receive a life altering transformation 

Many of us allow our situations to overwhelm us and take control  
Many of us stay in the same rut too afraid to think bold
Unwilling to spare some change in regards to our circumstances 
Unwilling to get up and go out, unwilling to take chances 
You can't blame no one but yourself if you stay stuck in your situation 
You need to interrupt that vicious cycle if want true transformation 

Bartimaeus interrupted the cycle of his tedious every day life 
And when the opportunity arose he got bold 
and called on Jesus the Lord Christ 
Stepping out on faith Bartimaeus flipped the script
And in spite of others rebuking him towards Jesus he went
He was on the right road that day and in the right place 
And in spite of his blindness and brokenness 
he received Jesus's mercy and grace

Now when Jesus asked Bartimaeus of his needs and desires
It was a question of self examination and godly inspired 
For God has a way of making us look inside ourselves to discover
What we need to be made whole and completely recovered 

On the right road with God with the right attitude in mind
On the right road trusting in God and you will come to find
That God knows what you need to be made whole
As only God has the ability to heal your soul
On the right road ready to make a change in life
On the right road trusting in God and Jesus the Christ
