OPPORTUNITY

Lord sometimes your name I call
To shed some light on the how and why of it all

Do I choose to live in doubt and fright?
Or do I choose to be saved from my darkest night?

What exactly is eternal night, you ask?
Tis’ only to re-live the mistakes of my past

Why should I want to, how could I dare
Repeat them over and over, with out want, or care

Let by-gones be by-gones, some of you say
Well, it’s not in my nature to live life that way.

What should I do; what should I choose?
Is one way to win, and the other to lose?

Good Lord, I’ve got it...I’ve figured it out
Simply choose not to be run by fear and by doubt

How then shall I embark upon on this great quest
With lots of love and plenty of zest
Now what shall I do with this great empty hole
Which looms at the bottom of my very Soul?

There is a solution, a way to heal
The more that I ask; the more He will reveal

Will I take a suggestion sent from above
And fill it with kindness, tolerance, and love

When it all comes to an end; where shall I sit
Do I have the guts, do I have the grit?

I tell you I do
and so do you

We all have the strength to weather the storm
to find our own home, safe and warm

There are many paths; neither wrong nor right
We all must find our own way to vanquish the night?
