The First Half

I have tumbled haphazardly
down the dusty road of life.

It led me here, to this moment.

Along the way I planted seeds,
stirred the dust, while watching
the seasons change.

Now I am about to begin,
the next fifty years or so.

Where do I go?

What stones are left unturned?

What adventures lie ahead?

My questions ramble on inside.

I no longer wish to tumble,
but be guided by God’s mighty hand,
gently into the light, to see what He has planned.
