Path Laid Out

Indecision is weighing heavily on my mind
An easy solution I have yet to find
Looking for signs to point me to the way
Growing more confused in the light of each new day

Options I face, the choice is unclear
Nagging pit in my stomach, panic growing near
Listing pros and cons and talking it out
I’m left without an answer still riddled with doubt

Then I look to him please guide me for no path is clear
I’ve looked at both sides now and I see heartbreak and fear
Now that I have asked I await a calm, clear voice
The one that will guide me into making the right choice

Why is it that I always forget he is there
When I am faced with obstacles sometimes I can’t hear
Suddenly it comes to me the path laid out is fine
I just end up kicking myself for wasting so much time

The right path to take in life is not always clear. We can become lost and then wander for years before we find our way, sometimes.... I really enjoyed this poem that ended with a wise message. Nice rhyming in this, as well! Great work, Christine!
