Trail of Life
By
Walt Perryman
I am rambling about the trail of life.
As I navigate down the trail of my life,
I have had my share of heartaches and strife.
God gave me a brain for me to use,
Sometimes, I use it, but I often refuse.
He gave me one mouth and ears he gave two,
My mouth has more mileage than my ears do.
On my trail I need to listen more than I talk,
So, my trail would be smoother when I walk.
While I am talking, I cannot hear what is said.
Because while talking, nothing enters my head.
God offers me what I need to travel my trail,
But, when I do not use what he offers, I fail.
I have no idea if your trail is anything like mine,
If so, try to listen and talk less, you will be fine.
