The Road I Have Traveled

I came forth from the water a clean and humble man,

With a new appreciation, for the mercy in God’s plan.

This plan is full of wisdom, it was written with God’s love.

This path demands my patience, and guidance from above.

This road that I have traveled I have traveled in my pride.

I thought I had a family but now none are by my side.

I thought that I’d be happy with ignoring others’ pain.

But being that secluded was driving me insane.

That road that I did travel ended in a “T”

And I was left with two options as to the man that I could be.

I started to the left, but was told to choose the right

By two clean-cut men that were dressed in black and white.

I came forth from the water having been reborn.

I’ll comfort those that need it and mourn with those that mourn.

I’ll take upon me burdens from others that I love

Then gain a giant strength from a loving God above.

This road that I now travel, is a straight and narrow one,

That I will choose to walk along, until the war is won,

This road that I now travel, runs with an iron rod,

And I will hold it firmly, until I hold my God!
