Short Lead Astray Poems

When the path seem tight,
And the way lead astray.
Your words tossed me back:
'In praise to you,i will not slack'....

What I did was not at all smart
Lead astray by my foolish heart
It cost me my wife
The love of my life
Now the dam car won't even start...

When forks appear and choices weigh,
And doubts arise to lead astray,
The inner wisdom lights the way,
On the right path where peace will stay.

Religion becoming meaningless
when propriety goes away
Nothing to sit atop the lies
nothing to lead astray

Claiming the title to prophecies spun
each figurehead stands tall
To augment the legend of what never was
—as Divinity still calls

Voice's'
Am i responsible
for all my failure's
am i the king of mistake's?
have i been lead astray
i have had bad judgement
with the women i date
i have so many
trouble's in my life
i don't even know 
what i am looking for
or which wat to go
do i listen to the 
voice's in my head?...

Tough love is on display
Because, the child has been lead astray
Following the wrong crowd
And sadly, wasting her life away
Both parents are in a state of worry
They just want their child back
Words of encouragement have been given
Hopefully, she will move towards the right track...

Weigh
today ...
Dare I say
ate huge buffet
followed by sorbet
Guess I got lead astray ....
(was dining with best friend Faye)
I’m anxious what the scales will say -
lost over a kilo - that’s okay!

The silent soul
who sullenly
seeps within
the sentimental
seas of solitude.
Always lead astray
by every
passing day.
Just to remain
amongst the stars.
Striding through
time’s strangled streams
of faintly
faded dreams.
Embedded beneath
the once blue
eyed beams of an
embittered beauty....

A Good Day.

The way Lord has made it.
To think anything else shades it

Best thing to do is behave in it.
Seek no glory for you shall have it.

In each day is to live that way
Mindful of things that lead astray.

See them in this grateful way 
Lasting for a moment to say.

God has it no other way....

This life is but a river
Flowing within it's meanders.
It's course is emplaced,
Though it can be defaced.
As in it may lead astray
To an awful wicked way.
Worry not my dearest,
If thou is but earnest.
For your meaning will gleam
With wholesome self-esteem.
Now paddle your canoe
With a sincere attitude....

A grey area through which we trudge
A thousand arcing shards
Sol, dust on the rift of illumination
A thousand cut-throat shards
Forever lead astray by the light
The boundaries of truth
Oh so tyrannical
Uncontested
.
..
...
Tick, tick
The bell to resound
The fangs to arch in
For a rogue shard could ne'er defy...

are things I should say
so to God do have to pray
bring peace to each day
(remove all dismay)
(all my bills please pay)
(never lead astray)
(with you want to play)
(destroy disarray)
(take two steps you may)
(happiness display)
(see you in Santa Fe)
(help me find ring in hay)
(heard squawking blue jay)
(of hope send a ray)
(with me always stay)
(show me the right way)...

If you 2
Like me
Are lead astray by your ever so lively Cock and Ball's 
You 2 may find yourself in the dock 
If you didn't shout duck
And an errant Cock
Or playful Ball
Strikes you playing partner right in the face
Brace yourself 
Those things burn and sting like Duck
And you 2 may be sitting in the Dock
For assault by means of a playful Badminton Shuttlecock 
Or misdirected squash ball
If it was indeed...

into a comfortable slaughter
my shephard has left 
a wolf in disguise
to lead astray
his angelic daughters 
with the lord of the flies.

no one can hear the cries of the lost
purposely forgotten
we've been abandoned 
as targeted innocence
into the woods to be killed or bought

lost sheep
lost sheep
we can't see for ourself
or fend while our master is gone
left in a wilderness to be tested
while the survivors wait until dawn....

Teach us to be humble
For we often lose our way
In life we often stumble
O’er paths that lead astray

Teach us to be humble
When we do not see eye to eye
With others we often grumble
And make each other cry

Teach us to be humble
When words we fail to speak
In life we often fumble
Throw our weight on those who are weak

Teach us to be humble
Before the great Yahweh
Our stiff knees before Him must crumble
For He is life’s gateway

There is hearsay of a brighter day
And if it does come my way
I hope it will stay

While the time whittles away
There is no game to play
Struggling with life's daily melee

All I can do is pray
I wont be lead astray
By the things that outweigh
Like the debt of sin I must repay
Only I can defray

With little time there can be no delay
Gods word I must obey
And his love I will never betray
For then he will take away all this dismay
