by Marshall McGurk
Don’t be afraid of things to come.
You do what you believe is right.
You do what must be done.
Keep the faith, in God;
He’ll handle the rest
for His Greater Glory
and No, I do not jest.
The branches and sequels
you so wrongfully fear
are figments of imagination.
Remember God is here.
Eyes on God, pilgrim.
He’ll light the Path.
Keep moving, keep pushing
He’ll meet you at last
With answers beyond…
Wildest explanations,
wildest expectations.
