Decisions Poem by Eva L. Shaw

Here I sit in the sunshine contemplating.
Soon a decision will have to be made.
I see the cross-road ahead
Coming closer and closer.
Do I turn, or do I walk on?
I pray for guidance to
Choose the way.

The Bible is my road map,
Jesus said'I walk with you'
'I will guide you'
Trust me in the present
For the future when it comes
Will be My will for you
And, you will know.

Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and
Lean not unto thine own understanding
In all thy ways acknowledge Him
And He shall direct thy path.
I weigh it in my wisdom,
Speak to elders who have more
I question and oh how I question

The effects on many lives will happen
This is overwhelming to me
Procedure dictates the rules
And so I guess we will see.
So, Lord guide this process
Bring your will to me
For, what can I do without you?

Your will be done now and forever
Let me be your hands, feet, ears and eyes,
To work as you worked on this earth
With compassion, trust and gentleness
Lord, reflect these through me, and
The decision will be made.
With praise, love and thanksgiving

Amen
