Where I am going, I don't know <br />The road ahead twists out of sight <br /> <br />Where it will lead no one can say <br />I hardly even know myself <br /> <br />The fact that I think I'm doing right <br />does not mean I really am <br /> <br />But I believe the desire to please you <br />does in fact please you <br /> <br />And I am determined to inject that thought <br />in everything I say and do <br /> <br />And I believe that if I do this mostly <br />You will take my arm and lead me to you <br /> <br />Though I don't feel you, though I could feel fear <br />I will find a way to trust you <br /> <br />Even though I seem lost, even though <br />death stands face to face with me like a thief <br /> <br />I am not afraid <br />for you are mine and I am yours <br />and alone is no longer a possiblity <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />(A rewrite of a poem by Fr. Thomas Merton)<br /><br />Mike Finley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/prayer-of-thomas-merton-rewrite/
