CROSSROADS
I love to speed, get it in gear,
So why are we still standing here?
My engine's roaring; hear it keen.
God, won't you send a light that's green?
I have great plans, Lord. Can't You see?
You want to come along with me?
Why must I rest and wait so long
To find Your will, when I'm headstrong?
Shall I signal to the right?
I'm holding on with all my might.
I'd love to stomp upon the gas;
My time is slipping though the glass.
All right, I'll stop and wait for You.
Despite my plans, I have no clue.
Here at the crossroads, in midstream,
Things aren't always what they seem.
You lead me in a slower pace,
By silent waters, secret space.
My motor roars and longs for more,
But greater things You have in store.

Which way am I to take?
I take off my shoes in class.
My socks? I debate.
They're still wet,
still clammy.
A cold, hard, unforgiving desk
pressed against
At the crossroad of life today I stand
Not knowing which way to go
Which road would be better for me?
Should I go or let
A writing not conducive to
The words I want to say
An end that I will not pursue
A place I will not stay.
A resignation in some
