Sitting in front of a camp fire on a late summer night
brings back childhood memories
The sweet smell of roasted marshmallows find me as a six year old jumping for joy
Sparks fly exploding in embers of red, orange and yellow
Then my favorite camp fire songs play on a loop in my head
I want to dance until I can’t dance anymore
Here I stand at a crossroads between two opposing views
Two paths to follow,
one choice to make
If I follow the path of least resistance knowing I will have made a choice for this world which doesn’t include you
I don’t want to choose this world
It’s too full of heartbreak pain and suffering
Pain and suffering of our own making
Choosing the road you are standing at the end of means
I have to give up on someone who at one time meant a lot to me
At this point I’m willing to do what it takes to prove that I love you no matter what it takes and what it means for the relationships i’ve cultivating with people of this world
I beg you Jehovah please help me in the world these trials
At the end of which I promise I’ll do what it takes to be standing on your side
