A childhood goes wrong
Beyond his control
Alas, he takes the wrong path
And it does grow
Wider and wider, into a road
Numerous times a narrow path
Lay beneath his feet, but
The wider did attract, dominate
Beginning with elusion, promises
Of acceptance and gain
Yet ending with guilt and pain
His time on the narrow
Will not be forgotten
By those left behind
For he was truly loved
Despite his battle on the wide
If only his journey had ended
On the narrow, and I think it did
I pray the narrow good outweighed
What happened on the wide
As he faces eternity...
Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate,
and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto
life, and few there be that find it.(KJV)

Martha, this brought tears to my eyes. I read it through three times and each time it impacted me more. Perhaps the most powerful part was the uncertainty of those left behind at the end, and that last line "as he faces eternity" really brought home the truth of the destination. With love, Deb
