Character


Lord,

Help me know

When to speak

And when to be silent

When to fight

And when to bail

When to stand tall

And when to stay on my knees

When to push

And when to pull back

When to try to clear my name

And when I should simply let my character do the same

With the Closing of a Chapter- A Brand New Scene for You and for Me


It’s been a while since you crossed my mind,

I used to think about you all the time,

Imagine what could have been,

Before that chapter hit an abrupt end. 



We talked for hours,

Shared our hearts,

Imagined what life would be like

If we lived closer rather than apart.



Then it came to fruition,

What a transition.

But I gave you the cold shoulder and dragged my feet

That summer ended in total defeat. 



It’s no wonder you quickly moved on,

She was ready and I was not,

So came the end of our song,

But the beat still goes on...



Because ultimately the closing of that chapter,

Led to the writing of something new,

A bold new path,

For me and for you. 



So it wasn’t meant to be,

And though I sometimes wonder if I missed my chance,

You probably look back and see,

That the end of that chapter was the transitioning scene to your fulfilling romance. 



With every closing of a chapter,

God’s in it still,

To lead and to guide,

And to do His will. 



So may I not regret and question the past,

For it’s led me to paths I never dreamed,

And though it didn’t go as I had once imagined,

It is still a story in which God continues to guide and redeem. 



Joy
