 Gentle Guidance

I take myself by the hand, seeing my shortcomings;
Wishing to change my many faults, but wondering, how?
Those heavy handed treatments will never work;
As only love will ever truly change the course of a life.

I sit in meditation, examining all that has become me;
The beautiful fruit, as well as the thorns and weeds.
Nurturing hands take me from where I am, slowly;
Walking with me until that destination is reached.

Change happens by a decision within, not a demand;
My focus  lingers on the positives, not on the negatives.
Walking through the jungles of my tangled existence;
My soul receiving sweet gentle guidance from the one.
