I arrive at the forks in the road
huge boulders block my passage.
I've struggled getting to this point,
carrying the lies, sins, and wrongs
I collected along on the journey.
The load's heavy, my body aches,
the burdens of having them attached
are more than I can bear.
I'm at a point, I can't go another step,
the weight is annoying and distracting.
Not knowing where to turn,
I'm told, "Jesus can lighten my load,
wiping away my sins.
Here at the forks,
I give Him my backpack,
the passageway is no longer closed.
I made it through today.
