When You Come To a Fork In the Road

As you travel down life's path, You never know what lies ahead, What you may think is a smooth path, Will be a rough journey instead, Where obstacles may impede your way, And make you to discouraged to go on, But if you put your faith in God He will show you a better way, And if you come to a fork in the road, You will have a chance to decide, If you will stay on your present path, Or let almighty God be your guide.

Great poem. The way is getting rougher day by day with evil being called good and good called evil. I fear for the younger generation. I hope God intervenes soon.

Hey.., all love BUT.., this space is for comments . right ? :) Line 3. 'what you might think A smooth path?' instead? Line 4.., 'WILL be a rough journey instead ' ?? Not perhaps, 'Might be'? You say He (God) might show me a better way if I put my faith in him.., erm.. So.., you have decided for the secular reader that God is non female? :) all the best.

This is in small part a religious poem for the end indicates that we should put our faith on God. The language here is not that of religious poetry, but the message has a religious tone. Nothing heavy or hard to understand in this. All is simple and right to the point. Thanks, Luis A. Estable

Don, My God has always been my guide, ever since I found Him when I was lost and lonely and very afraid. I have written similarly on here my friend. God Bless.D

Thank You for liking my poetry. A good portion of my writing is inspirational. God has been a big part of my life the past 5 years. If my poetry is a blessing to others then my purpose in writing it has been met. There will be other writings in the future. Have a blessed day. Donald
