Labyrinthine

There’s no hiding place beneath moon or sun
Christ see's it all as the planet is spun.
Quote - Poet’s own
Life’s a labyrinthine of twisting roads
Roads that direct us to our final home
At times we find ourselves stuck at crossroads 
Despair not for there’s many roads to roam.

One day we’ll arrive where we aim to be
Could be paradise or a cell in hell
Eternal happiness or misery
How well one has travelled life, who can tell.

The roads not taken could be for the best
It's the narrow roads that lead one to grace
Pick wrong labyrinthine and fail God's test
And not meet the King of Kings face to face.

To the left or to the right it’s your choice
Have faith in your heart and follow the light
In the distance sweet angels will rejoice
And a room’s prepared with heaven’s foresight.
