the promise shimmers
beckoning, tantalizing
but eluding my grasp.
"It's not for you, it's not for you,
It's for the chosen few"
Despair chants the words
that mock the toil
struggle and strain
I wasted, to reach
the unattainable.
With no answers left
I give up.
But what's this? Does God
sing country music?
(with apologies to Kay Savage, Sandra Seamons, and George Jones. )
"Walk through this world with Me
Go where I go
Share all your dreams with Me,
I love you so,
And now that I've found you
Come take my hand
And walk through this world with Me."
