Good Intentions

Good Intentions

At times I am impatient
and tread on ice too thin...
thank goodness Jesus loves me
and won't let me fall in.

Then other times I run ahead
and God must call me back,

because He knows I'm liable
to wander off the track.

Some days greener pastures
beckon me to roam,
but the faithful shepherd
gently leads me home.

Often I'm convinced that I
can scale a mountainside,
until the Lord reminds me
that I need Him as my guide!

If your good intentions
are anything like mine,
remember Jesus knows just
how to keep us all in line!

About the Poet
Christian since 1973, widowed in 2007, but by the divine appt. of God, I married a wonderful, godly widower in Oct. 2010. Three grown, married sons and eight grandchildren. My first love is Jesus who inspires my pen, for apart from Him I can do nothing! I desire to honor the Lord and edify readers thru poetry He inspires.
