Holy Guidance

 Hopefully God will guide me

Towards a higher place

I have been struggling down here for some time

I need some guidance

The years have passed me by

And I am feeling a little jaded

I still have belief

But it was never very strong

I keep hoping things will work out

But each day is a disappointment

I try to look on the bright side

But what if all your paths lead to nowhere

If there is no God then I am lost

With only myself left to try and find salvation

That prospect is so bleak that I am forced to believe

All my life has been a trial

And in the end I will be rewarded

All the knocks I have taken

Will only make me stronger and wiser

I still hope to bring up a family

And pass on my wisdom

Ensure that they don’t make the same mistakes

And guide them as best I can in the right direction

And the values I have learnt such as right and wrong

Will have me give advice

I may not always have live up to the standards I set

But I always strived to do my best

Life is a test of endurance

You probably don’t know how well you have done

Until you approach old age

When you can look back and assess your performance

Good or bad

And when you die

God will be there to pass his own judgement

And hopefully you will have justified your place

In the Kingdom of Heaven
