• POEM: Ask For Help
• As I strive to walk upon this path they call life,
• Sometimes it seems snowed in, by strife.
• The snowdrifts at times look way too high,
• Rather than wade through, I sit down and cry.
• Looking to the left, then to the right, I see nothing but CLIFF,
• Ahead of me only this enormous snowdrift.
• So, at the path I've already traveled, I stare,
• But I have no doubt; I don't want to go back there.
• Instead I close my eyes and to the Lord I pray,
• He reminds me "just enjoy the moment, and you'll enjoy the day"
• Opening my eyes, rather than a drift, a wonderful creation I see,
• Knowing all I need do is ask, and the Lord will carry me.
• So up on his back I get, not surprising the worry is all gone,
• He renews my faith and gives me strength to face the dawn.
• With a smile, a giggle and joy in my heart
• I thank God and know from him I can never part.
• Why is it then I have to be reminded again and again
• The Lord will replace sunshine for the snow or rain?
• At times the words to pray won't come, all I have to do is praise him.
• In doing that alone, he has proven, He'll not leave me on a limb.
• Each morning I must ask him to help and guide
• And be willing to set my own will to the side.
• Allowing his Wisdom and Love to get me through
• In doing so my self peace and happiness will grow too!
