My Journey to God

Cocoon

What if we live out our life, always striving to break free,
Never realizing the struggles we face, were always meant to be.
What if we spend all of our days, looking around the bend,
Only to find we have been living life, in a circle that never ends.
What if we stopped and contemplated all of our past worries,
Only to discover they did nothing, but to rob us of all our joys.
What if we recognized that today is only tomorrow’s yesterday,
And maybe not worry so much, knowing God is leading the way.
Why can we plainly see, that no one lives on Earth forever,
Yet somehow gloss over the fact, nor does our earthly treasure.
Lord, help me never to worry about what tomorrow may bring,
And to never miss the melody of today, that which I was born to sing.
God, please keep me mindful that this world is not my home,
And fill me with the joy of knowing, I am never alone.
Lord, thank you for your promise, that you will return one day soon,
And for helping me to remember, we will all eventually leave this cocoon.
