As we journey down here to and fro, we never know where pathways go, <br />We can never see around the bend, to where that present path may end. <br />We can plan straight all our courses, as we rely upon our own resources, <br />In spite of all the time you spend, we never know what’s around the bend. <br /> <br />With many a roads having a bend, we need a source on which to depend. <br />You can use the source of a friend, but no man knows every road’s bend. <br />There is one who knows every course, who truly is a much higher source, <br />And that One is The Lord Jesus Christ, The Shepherd of pathways in life. <br /> <br />Friend all roads have bends in this life, sometimes causing pain and strife. <br />Christ can help you down any road; He’s always ready to lighten our load. <br />The Lord will lead you down any path, guiding you with His Rod and Staff. <br />Christ will always see you through, always knowing where you’re going to. <br /> <br />A bend could simply be in God’s plan, this to lead you to The Son of Man, <br />As God could use a sticky bend, to help you consider where you may end, <br />Bends in the road can help you see, that you need to think about eternity. <br />Before the end of this earthly course, men need to seek an eternal source. <br /> <br />There’s a final bend for you and me, and this bend shall begin an eternity. <br />Did you ever take the time my friend, and ponder where your life will end? <br />There is one who knows every bend, and where in eternity you will spend, <br />So take some time to seek Jesus Christ, and let that bend be Eternal Life. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©05/2006)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bends-in-the-road/
