CROSSROADS

by Jaea Conde

I am shattered, broken to tiny pieces
No one around to help me pick up
The shattered, broken pieces of my heart
I ran to escape the dark, cold past

Running without direction
I reached the crossroads
And I got more confused
Where to go, I do not know

I looked left, “What’s in there?” I asked myself
I looked right, “Is it safe?” I wondered
I looked front, “What will happen to me?” I asked again
I looked back, the darkness overwhelmed

Then I fell down to my knees
Weeping and mourning
Losing grip of the hope left
Then I heard a voice saying, “My child, I Am here”

I looked left, no one was there
I looked right, it was empty
I looked front, there was nothing
I looked back, still darkness exists

Scared, weary and confused
I looked up and a light came down
Covering me, chasing away the darkness behind
And the voice said, “I Am with you wherever you go”

He said, “I Am your Father, I will never leave you”
Then I knew, I am not alone
I was never alone
He has been with me, I just didn’t look

The Light showed the way
He took my cares away
In the crossroads of life
Jesus is here within me
