Without fear, regardless of what I know, or how I feel, I must go past, beyond all of this |
-The Other Side of This- by Keaton Foster Here Upon an edge A curb A cliff No difference The fall The same The impact Greater To myself Dare I Wonder What is over there On the other side I know All too well What’s behind I fear Not the step Nor the leap I am only afraid Of what it will mean How will my life The one presently That I am living How will it change Or more Concerning How will it not I just don’t know I just can’t Freewill God’s greatest gift That often feels like His swiftest punishment We must live with And by What it is we decide He shows us the path He leads us from day one But at some point It must be one like this He leaves our next step And every other after that Up to us What will I do I’m afraid to step From this edge Down from this curb What if the impact Kills me Or what if Something unseen Unknown Speeds on by Taking me down As it whips through What should I do What can it be Is there an answer That I can live with Or is there a decision That will be the end Of all of this Perilous Indeed is this intersection But like all things in life It comes down to choice And a willingness to decide And live with that decision Or simply put Not So like all who have Come before me And those who have yet to I will make a choice A leap of faith As well as A step of fate Out there Ahead of me Into the intersection Of every person’s existence I will hold no fear In this heart Or in this mind God so gracious Gave me the right to decide And the ability to live And if so be it Die by such decisions I’d tell you the end The outcome of this If it would help But I know in my heart And in my mind That all I could say And how I spell it out Would matter not Freewill God’s greatest gift To all of us in kind Never turn back To that from which you came Only go forward From who and where you are If you can manage that You’ll will find peace And happiness Somewhere Someplace On the other side Of all of this… The Other Side of This Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2016/2017. |
