I’m Almost At the End of Life’s Road…

I’ve been to where

 I thought my life would end.

I felt alone...  With no one I could

 call “friend.”

I’ve been to where

I felt “trapped within.”

The emptiness I felt...  I don’t

know where to begin.

I’ve been to what I would call;

 “life’s dead end road.”

 I felt like I was carrying

 “a heavy load.”

I’ve been to a place

 down on my knees…

Wondering if there was anyone

 that I could believe.

I’ve been having discouraging

 thoughts enter my mind.

Any true peace or joy…

 I haven’t been able to find.

I’ve had time and giving it

 some thought…

What kind of life…

 Have I got?

The things I desired and have obtained…

They come and go as quickly

 as they came.

I read in the Bible where Jesus

can give true contentment.

A life filled with true joy,

 peace and fulfillment.

Thank you Lord for giving

what no one else could give.

I know you are with me,

 each day I live!
