Like the morning he rose gloriously
Filled with peace, tranquility and clearness
I humbly praise his love endlessly
And with him in my heart I am fearless
Without his guiding light I cannot cope
Like the warmth of the sun I feel him near
In the darkness I am in search of hope
Why can I not always tune in and hear
Choosing wisely is not an easy path
Taking the easy road in a nutshell
You will set yourself up to face his wrath
Securing your place in the depths of hell

Following the beat of his drum to live

Like a parent he will always forgive

The author's comments:
when i wrote this poem,i was having some hard times and i didnt know what to do,so i decided to write this poem for those people out there that are in a little bit of a rut and dont know what to do,or who to go to.They just have to listen to their heart.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
