Jeff Bresee Poet Rhyme

One Of The Few

I’m the same as everyone else, 
I seek what others seek -
that path that leads to life amidst 
this world so dark and bleak.
And as I’ve sought, I’ve often read that -
few shall find the gate 
that puts us on this path that’s penned 
as narrow and as straight.

Thus, I can’t help but wonder – 
“Will I be one of the few
who by chance finds this narrow gate 
and then knows what to do?”

The odds against such seem as though 
I hardly stand a chance,
when all there be to fill my sails 
are winds of circumstance.
But somewhere also in the verse 
there is another clue -
“Seek, you’ll find. Ask, you’ll receive. 
Knock, it shall be opened unto you.”

So, it would seem that if 
I ever want to walk this path,
I better take some time alone 
to pray and humbly ask,
and make resolve – 
“No matter what he asks of me, I’ll do!”
Then I can hold faith knowing that… 
I’ll be one of the few.
