The Chosen Path Poem by Randy McClave

My life's plan is a straight line from "A" to "B
Gods plan is for me to head from "A" to "Z",
My plan is to make it easy and simple to reach my goal
Where Gods plan is to strengthen and to save my very soul.
My path is a strait and even road without any obstruction
God's plan is a road with holes and rocks and paths still under construction,
The path that I want is the easiest one for me to choose and to take
Where my decisions and choices are so very easy to make.
I could take the road that doesn't lead to hate, worries or fears
The road that is easy and simple without much sadness or tears,
Where I am all alone without no one else walking the path
Where I never have to worry about need or greed or wrath.
Then I remember the path that Jesus had taken
Where he loved and helped and saved even when he was forsaken,
He could have taken the road of flowers and moss
But, he instead took the road of turmoil that ultimately led him to the cross.
Now as I stand with my life stretched for many miles up ahead
As I now much decide upon which path I want to be led,
So, unto the Lord and his directions I will never appose
I know that I must take the path that God had chose.
