Journey Starts Now Poem by Michael Nguyen

Walking down this road
Waiting for the signs to point me to the way
Walking down the path
Waiting for the river to flow by the wayside
Walking in this river
Waiting no longer
Dip my head in water
Baptized by Your names
Does it all get easier?


Swimming down this river
The world is against you
Swimming down this torrent
The world hates you
Swimming off this cliff
Jesus saves you
Does it all get easier?


Flying through the sky
Nothing puts you to shame
Flying above the clouds
Nothing to fear of
Flying to the gates of Heaven
A Father's warm embrace is waiting
Does it all get easier?


Asking about who's with you
Counting the numbers on your fingers
Asking about friends and family
Counting the few in between the long pauses
Asking about what can be done?
God says prayer for those you love, for God listens.
Does it all get easier?


Only if you start praying now. Do not wait.
