Ahead

I fight the feeling of
a desperate angst,
turning instead to
feelings of
grateful surrender.

God, my creator,
first made my path.
My task; to journey,
my gift; God given,
for me to choose.

My choices have been
paid in full.
Mind and body,
reveal the toll.

Yet so grateful am I
to know God's will,
still, darkness tempts me,
to worry what awaits.

So many choices
have I made,
to exact that toll,
dearly paid.

So, as I trust
God's will be done,
I fight my humanity
down deep inside.

Courage to be born
from facing fear,
not running away,
I forge ahead.

My creator revealed
my mission, my path,
to walk ahead,
no matter the price.

I found my strength
and I use it well,
courage, and trust

against my will.

I shall trust there is light

beyond God's will.
