Stretch My Muscles - Freestyle

DIRECTIONS

I'm on a mission for change
To make a mark in the lives of others 
Who can't seem to find their way

I know what's it like to be lost and alone
Stuck in rut, maimed with pain, ashamed of my name
Unclear of where to aim 
my frustration

Incapable of making the right decisions
Lost in translation 
In the middle of a transformation 
Spinning out of control 
Trying to find the breaks, hoping for a sign
that says this is the way you should go!

There it is...that still small voice
Slow down, stop and think! 
Walk this way, turn right
You've been going left

One right turn, becomes another right turn
Till I find myself back on the right path
Moving in the right direction

I bring one, two, three people along with me
They looked stranded with their thumbs out
waiting for someone to pick them up
But now I know the way in which we should go

He whispered the directions in my ear
Just thought I should share
The path is straight and narrow
Not for the faint of heart
And sometimes it can get lonely.

Suddenly, I look up to find three, two, one
It's just me
Walking, changing, transforming
into what He wants me to be.

Following directions = long life.

Word of the Day: Proverbs 18:10
Thoughtfully,
"Olympian Pen"
