The Path of Life
by
John Fazekas
While walking down the path of life,
There are decisions we must make.
Opportunities that we must miss,
Opportunities we must take.
And we must wisely choose the path
That we will walk in life.
Should we choose a path that brings success,
Or a path that's free of strife?
Should we choose a path of happiness,
Or one that leads to wealth?
A path that grants security,
Or one that brings good health?
Should we choose a path that's difficult,
But with important lessons to learn?
Or a path that does not freely give,
But allows us things to earn?
Should we choose a path with family
And many friends to love?
Choose the path that leads to God,
And he will provide all the above.
There are decisions we must make.
Opportunities that we must miss,
Opportunities we must take.
And we must wisely choose the path
That we will walk in life.
Should we choose a path that brings success,
Or a path that's free of strife?
Should we choose a path of happiness,
Or one that leads to wealth?
A path that grants security,
Or one that brings good health?
Should we choose a path that's difficult,
But with important lessons to learn?
Or a path that does not freely give,
But allows us things to earn?
Should we choose a path with family
And many friends to love?
Choose the path that leads to God,
And he will provide all the above.

Not that I have anything against God, but I believe we make choices in this life and each choice opens up new opportunities, both good and bad. I take responsibility for my own actions and will not accredit my misfortunes or my triumphs to God. Thank you for sharing though, it's well written!
