BEING AWARE

Many times, you feel alone

Your kind of feeling

You discover you must take

A journey to where you have

Never been before

The idea is exciting until you begin

To dwell on your inadequacies as

You start for what lies ahead

Your independency begins

To waver and fear takes over

There is no roadmap to look at

No one there to ask for the way

Your calmness vanishes and

Demurring takes its place

It is then that you remember

The One who knows all paths

And has a sacred love for you

You talk to Him in a way

That is more than just a prayer

You need His help, not just for

The moment to relax you, but

For the wholeness of your

Journey. You know he knows

Every path, twisted or straight

You beseech Him for help and

As the path becomes clearer

To you, you forget about Him

Until you become confused again

The idea would be to stay in

Constant touch with Him,

Thanking Him along the way

As you whisper His name with

Thanks for His being with you

You realize how shallow you are

And pray for strength, promising

To stay true with Him and

Asking for forgiveness. You

Have learned and shall abide
