Another One of Peggy's Poems

Those Carefree Burdened Days
Email Peggy
When I was young
And so Carefree
The days were all mine
How I truly loved me.
The ways of the world
Were expansive and wide,
I set out on that road
And I went for a ride.
Every new dawn
Bought new things to see,
They say: Go for the gusto
Cause it's all about me.
With no direction of mind
I played at the dance,
Life had its questions
But I left them to chance.
Not knowing that Jesus
Was the answer for me,
I looked to myself
For all I could be.
Did all the right things
And dressed for the part;
Looked complete on the outside
With a hole in my heart.
And driven by a void
That could not be explained;
Happiness was the goal,
You must cover that pain.
And Life was a Burden
On those carefree days,
For I was empty inside
With my soul, I did pay.
And all the while the Father
Was waiting to see
When I'd come to the end
Of the story of me.
And He met me there
On life's lonely miles,
And I threw off the shakles
Of my Carefree lifestyle.
And He looked in my Eyes
And said, I am your all,
So I gave Him my heart
And answered His call.
Then He gave me the secret
How one's life should be lived;
Loose yourself to Me
And you will surely find It!
