The Path Less Traveled

I've finally found my way,
Set my feet upon the right path,
But in this transition,
I'm unsure where to head next,
I have lofty goals and seemingly unrealistic ambitions,
I have to plan a course of action,
But everything is new to me,
I've awakened from my sleep called apathy,
Ready to continue changing my mode of operation,
Change my way of thinking,
I've become a new person,
I'm letting the old me fade away,
So that the new one can blossom,
I'm prepared for this reorganization,
But the future seems uncertain,
Where will I go?
What will I be?
Am I too old not to know everything?
God, what is your plan for me?
In time will you reveal everything?
In a sense of irony,
My uncertainty stems from my desire to change everything,
Not just in me,
But in all that I see,
First, however,
It starts within me,
That's why this is difficult,
This is the first act in the play of life,
What happens next is in question,
Every action bares a consequence,
I reach out to grab hold of some stability,
But the only thing to hold onto is what little I know,
Lord I've taken the initiative to correct my path,
Will you guide my further steps?
Keep me safe from harm's way?
I know you sent me a gift,
You sent a woman who brought me closer to you,
One full of love and dedication to the happiness of others,
One strong in the spirit to bring me back to the light,
A woman who feels lucky to be in my presence,
Whom I spoke to about my dreams,
Not quite sure what she would think,
Where I expected laughter,
What I received was admiration,
Ever from the beginning,
She has escaped my ability to characterize,
Honestly she's perfect for me,
I'm very interested in where we go from here,
That's one reason I want to do everything right,
This has to be of mutual benefit,
I'm been very blessed,
So I don't want to squander what I have,
God give me the strength,
To follow your will,
Amen.
