Where Do I Stand

I stand at the crossroads
too many to count
I spin around in circles
seeing doubles all about.

He reminds me of my father
says I'm a lot like his mother
I just wish he could look deeper
than age or beauty and other.

I want to see him as God does
wish he'd see me in that light too
we look for things in common
but these are so few.

We each spend days alone
though we talk on the phone
we keep ourselves busy
we've got skills to hone.

I wonder where we're going
only God knows for sure
He's told me about changes...
a bit of what I'll endure.

We've both been hurt 
that I surely know
so I see we'll be taking this
a little easy and slow.

God can heal our wounds
binding up our hearts
He'll speak to us through us 
replacing any missing parts.

I know we're going somewhere
I'll take the road he does
we'll be carrying our Bibles
deep inside of us.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Not sure about the relationship here if it was a marriage or only dating...If marriage, one needs to try to work it out if possible..One thing for sure if both have a relationship with God and put Him first everything will work out..Great write that is very expressive and should be helpful to others....Sara

Interesting write, and as long there is hope there is an answer. One only has to find it. Excellent piece. A. W. Nutter www.freewebs.com/abcedit
