sometimes you need to get lost to discover direction
sometimes you need to lie low before taking any action
that quiet thought hidden deep in the recess of your mind
that compelling emotion embedded in the heart unsigned
perhaps you must heed to it and not believe it to be distraction
sometimes what you choose is different it does not mean you are lost
sometimes your dreams are high-priced they will come at a cost
that quiet confidence you have mustered in situations challenging
that untapped strength you never thought you had is there in waiting
perhaps you must rely on yourself and not expect others to play host
sometimes a peculiar mix of directions lost and found are at play
sometimes the timing is not tailored approaches clutter the way
that need for discipline and patience must be pondered upon
that realization that after each darkness filled storm there is a dawn
perhaps you must calmly wait for sunshine so to catch a ray
sometimes dreams are shattered and directions can go awry
sometimes wishes stay unfulfilled you cannot embellish your story
that determination to fight the odds when odds are stacked up
that power of each prayer when nerve and mood are racked up
perhaps you must learn to trust in God and stop feeling sorry
