through

   psalm 77:19

if i’m honest

i must admit

that there are times

i would rather just

go around

it’s easier

but your path is 

rarely the easy one

your path always seems

to lead through the sea

through the mighty waters

through must be 

better than around

because through is

the place of dependence

the place of surrender

the place of trust

so may i never miss

the beauty and goodness 

of the way through

by constantly trying

to find a way

around
