There comes a time
In everyone’s life
When they stand
At the crossroads of life
Which one is right
Which one is wrong
There is no sign
Trust your life to Jesus
Close your eyes
He’ll guide you the way
Ask no question
His is the only way
Don’t let your mind
Try to lend on
Cause you’ll soon find
It the wrong one
Then it’s to late
Cause it’s already done
(Written in 1983 by Skip Brown,Jr.)
Crossroads of Life !! Where am I going??
No matter what the teacher asks
i’m always at my own task
i’m one of the back benchers
And always at my own ventures
The teacher has come and he has gone,
Lounging on the back bench i always yawn ,
My last bench is the best place two sleep ,
But when the exam comes i always weep ,
“Go and stand at the back !” the teacher shouts,
“your bad performance is just according to my doubts.”
At my sweet bench , come sweetest dreams,
But they soon end when the teacher screams ,
Looking at all this , sometimes i try to deem:
One day i will sit in front and become nation’s cream,
Still , after all i love this sorrowful trench,
As i am writing this poem on the same last bench
I asked God to take away my pain.
God said,No
It is not for me to take away,
but for you to give it up.
I asked God to grant me patience.
God said,No
Patience is a byproduct of tribulations
it isn’t granted,it is earned.
I asked God to give me happiness.
God said No,
I give you blessings,
Happiness is upto you.
I asked God to make my spirit grow.
God said,No
you must grow on your own,but i will
prune you to make you fruitful.
I asked God,to spare the pain.
God said ,no
Sufferings draw you apart from worldly
cares & brings you closer to me.
I asked for all things that i might enjoy in life.
God said,No
I will give you life
that you may enjoy all things.
I asked God to help love me others
as much as he loves me
God said……..
Ahhhhhh,at last You have the Idea!!!
