Decisions
carol paterick 12/97

I am in need, as many are
Of strength to guide my heart.
You see there is this problem now
Of which I can not part.

I see a scene clear as a bell
I feel it, too, inside.
The vision brings a lightning bolt
And feelings hard to hide.

A future life is close but far
A place beyond this time.
Yet something tells me that one day
The future could be mine.

I look for intervention
A sign if you will.
One that will deter me
Or push me further still.

I know along the path of life
There are doors I open or close.
I want to make a choice that's right
To ease my current woes.

As I laid down to sleep last night
I knew this truth in part. 
The only doors I shall explore
Are those You give my heart.

For what I seek while on earth
Is music, warmth and love.
These things are life's choices
As offered from above.

You'll guide my mind, heart, and soul
As it ought to be.
All I need do is look to You
And deep inside of me.
