The Road Less Traveled

I traveled the road of ease till I could not any more It left bad memories and disenchantment Not able to hold my head high and see the wrong I came to a fork in my path, I sat and pondered Which pathway shall I chose to go? Down the well-traveled path knowing what lay there? To certain disappointment and heartache? Many have traveled this path unhappily You can see them along the way sitting there Just existing, not living at all, broken Looking down the less traveled path I don’t see anyone along the way, curious I set out down the pathway to see why I came upon a sign that read You are worthy never doubt it Hmmm, plodding along I went on I encountered kindly old gentleman He looks up saying to me “I see you made it my dear.” Confused I asked did he know me “Yes my dear I have watched you struggle, Guided you along the way, carried you When the burdens too heavy for you” Seeing I was still confused he continues “Many take the easy way out and follow the crowd But you in your time of need followed The less traveled pathway, I will guide you As long as you stay on this pathway” It dawned on me who he was I had forgotten so much of what I learned God didn’t forget me but guided me He put me on the road less traveled To keep me safe in his love for me.
