Follow the leader. Should we? This may not be an easy decision.

 

How do we make it? Listen to them? They will tell you to . . .

 

 

Believe In Me

 

Believe in me, ‘cause I’m the one.

The world is mine to play my game.

Believe in me, if not, it would be a shame.

Because the path ahead seems dark,

It is a sign we must be smart.

Believe in me, follow my lead, as we depart.

 

As the sun’s light warms the day,

When I say, “This is my way,”

Believe in me, take the right path

To where we must be to clearly see.

 

Stay the course, do as I say,

If not there may be hell to pay.

This is the way to go,

So believe in me, for I’m your real life hero.

Believe in me, believe in me, believe me.

I stand up and say my piece—make my feelings known.

 

I believe in myself, and know there is a future . . .

 

 

Between You And Me

 

Let me be,

I’m as adventurous as a dolphin in the sea.

And I believe I’m enthralling the crowd.

My talent’s on demand,

I’m excited, for I do understand.

 

Come with me

And I assure you you’ll enjoy what you see.

Experience the world as you never have before.

The warmth you feel,

A smile on your face, for I’m the real deal.

 

Can’t you trust in me, as I do you?

That’s just what I want you to do.

Focus on my every move and I will prove

That’s why I’m enticing you.

 

I’m not afraid.

You and I together, a beautiful future made.

Always knowing we are here for each other,

Arm in arm we stand,

On God’s promised land.

 

Entwined forever,

We’ll always be,

You and me.

What does your future hold? Will the answers jump off the page?

 

And will you understand them, if they do? You want to bury your head in the sand, but know in your heart you must take the . . .

 

 

Journey Into The Unknown

 

At last, with free time available, you breathe a sigh of relief.

A book you’ve longed to read calls your name.

The silent voice summons you, so you mosey over to the shelf.

With book in hand, you crash into your armchair in the living room.

Opening it, words flow from the page.

Startled by their presence, you wonder what they mean.

 

Are they sending a message of what your future holds?

Do you do what they say or just ignore them?

And, if you do, what are the consequences?

Waves of insecurity roll through your body.

Without a lifejacket, are you meant to survive?

You drift to the end of the page and . . .

 

On the edge of your seat, you know what they’re telling you.

But fiction or reality, you’re unable to determine.

Do you enter the realm of pure imagination or answer the doorbell?

The what? You roll out of the chair and head to the door and pull it open.

Standing before you, a woman in a red dress and high heels smiles.

And the story of the rest of your life begins to unfold.
