I am at the crossroads of my life
I'm hurting, flustered,
Where I only see strife
It's a challenge for there are only two roads to choose
They both look the same, its a gamble, will I lose?
The dice are heavily loaded, I carry a lot of baggage
My kids, are clinging to me, lost bewildered, years of ravage
I need to be strong and lighten my load,
If I don't I may choose the wrong road
Help me dear God to be strong in my choice
I need wisdom and strength, I need to hear your voice
Is it the left road or maybe the right
Guide me heavenly Father, for I am in a plight
I stand here before you, my children in hand
Only You can help me to make this stand
Make me strong, forthright, take away the pain
For the choice is yours, I can only gain!
I believe in YOU! show me the way
Carry me through this problem, to You I pray
I am half way there, for I have now unburdened my load
Given it all to God, now I am on the right road!

Beautiful and touching
I like how you express the deep confusion and fear that goes with making choices like this...
Thank you for entering, I really enjoyed this, touched on many thoughts and feelings I am dealing with right now.
Good luck to you

Crossroads are so symbolic and reach across many
faiths and beliefs. Here, you paint a scene common
among many who struggle with single-parenting.
It takes courage to reach out whether it is to
your God, your neighbor, or deeper within yourself.

PS-shedded...no such word, might want to change it.
"I can see only strife" gives too much pause in flow
can I suggest "where I only see strife?"
Also, "too be strong in my choice" should read 'to'
