Along life’s journey are a few deadly trails,
Walk with me along the most dangerous two;
Stay close, don’t stray off, ask some questions,
Obey all the rules and we will get through.

One of the deadliest trails we may walk,
Is the one that I deemed Pride and Ego;
Pride is a very capricious thing,
It deserts us when we’re feeling low.

Ego is one of the shameful forces,
Too much of it leaves us without a friend;
We’ll walk on the trail alone and afraid,
With no one to comfort us at the end.

Another deadly trail on life‘s map,
Is a sad one I have named Hopeless;
Those who travel this path are short on faith,
And their journey is forever endless.

This most fearful trail will bring such torment,
No tangible words could describe it all;
Eternal damnation and pain transpires,
For all who refuse to accept His call.

These two trails lead to horrible fates,
So my friends, avoid them at all cost;
If tempted by them, choose another path,
On a righteous one, our souls won’t be lost.

Please hear this warning before it’s too late,
Take the right trail and pick up the slack;
Have faith and trust, never harden your hearts,
Once at your trail’s end, there’s no turning back.
