It's Up to You

It's up to you
the path you choose...
You see the paths so
clearly before you now
There's the one that follows
fear and loneliness, the path
of least resistance ironically
takes us into the woods alone.
And drops us there and doesn't care.
You say the other path is way too hard
It makes me sweat and grunt and start
again again again and again.
The path to loving yourself is
certainly worth all of the pain.
For it leads to all other paths
full of fruit trees lining the way
Picture yourself eating the fruit
of relationships full of harmony
closeness, laughter and love.
It's there for the taking
one step at a time
With patience and focus
the tortoise won the race!
Although it's not a race
It is a destination and
what you will need is
only your good will
and persistence and...
The Savior who loves
Us all the same
Who beckons, lay your
burden at my feet and
follow me, even yoke
yourself to me, even take
shelter under my wing,
see my Light, it is lighting
your way. Look up, do not
complicate your life.
Look up!
