A Bend In The Road

Inspired during a time of deep depression as I took my evening walk and seeing the red sunset as I approached a bend in the road.

As I journey toward the setting sun, I face a bend in the road. No one seems to care or understand that I bear a heavy load.

I barely understand myself, nor can I control my moods. I only know God "promised" that He would see me through.

He promised He'd never leave me, Nor yet forsake me here. And in these words only -- can I find a comfort and cheer.

My steps are getting shorter, My strength is growing weak. I pray "My God, please help me!" If he would only speak.

Then I look toward the setting sun, And the Bend In the Road, And all I seem to see Is the sky, red, aglow.

The sky says it all, He did hear my prayer. For in it I'm reminded, Tomorrow will be fair.

So, don't give up, go on, have courage,  and face the Bend In The Road, God is here, He's all around you and He'll bear your heavy load.

Enjoyed your poem. Indeed, the future is wonderful for those that believe in the Bible and follow its direction. The Bible is of course the world's all time best seller! Keep reading and happy writing. Linda

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
