do you remember those times when things in your life,
just don’t seem to add up right
do you remember those times when clarity filled the days,
but the view from right in front of you seem to possess a darkened haze
do you recall those times that your destination was set back with every step,
and that each time you showed a kindness, you soon felt the regret
it was when your faith was tested the most during these times,
as slowly you realized with whom, your peace you would find
the trap setters would be bothered that you found that peace,
that placed your spirit beyond their reach
for it is within his guiding hand,
that you can securely travel a damaged land
for he does not always remove you from the fray,
but he will walk with you – each and every day
