Choices

by Rhonda Rossier

You face a door...

Do you open it?

A cold, clammy had turns the knob.

(it's yours)

Slowly, cautiously you peek inside.

A voice calls harshly,

"Either in or out!"

You plunge in head first,

All uncertainties left behind.

You're the life of the party,

Trying new things,

(or are you?)

Your head starts pounding,

The insecurities are back,

"What am I doing here?"

You bolt out the door,

Escape...

Freedom?

Now where?

The night is so dark you can't see,

You stumble and fall,

In desperation...

A cry for help...

A guiding hand reaches out.

You face a door...

A sigh,

(not again)

A hand on your shoulder,

You're not alone.

A look of encouragement,

Words of assurance. You reach for the door...

And open it.

Warmth and words of welcome greet you.

You want to go in,

But your feet won't move.

"You can't do it alone,"

A soft voice whispers.

"Help me then..."

With a smile on His lips

and compassion in His eyes,

The Lord takes your hand,

And you walk inside.
