Path Less Trod

Missing image

diagnosed with cancer I despaired
so sick and alone, I felt so dismayed

what would I do if I died today
with bitterness leading me astray

I walked each day in pure misery
till the moment I found my sweet Lord
my thoughts were sad, filled with pain
till my faith was so richly restored

from sin I was graciously set free
my heart was overflowing with joy
now I sing and write his praises
I look forward to Glory ever more

why live sorrow and wretched agony
when your spirit can walk with God
why walk the paths of heartache and woe
when you can walk the path less trod

In a list

    This has a sophistication that, frankly, I'm stunned at knowing your age. Very beautifully written. Never stop writing. I can only imagine the level you may achieve in coming years.

    Wow.
    I think I'm going to have to leave it there. This is just something else. Such a magnificant display of faith; brutally honest and tenderly touching.

    i am not religious at all, but i am glad that this makes you feel better :)

    i am afraid i can not judge this fairly, as i do not understand what you are talking about. but the saddest part of your life was being diagnosed with cancer, and the happiest part was having your faith restored? is that correct?
