One Of The Few

I’m the same as everyone else, 

I seek what others seek -

that path that leads to life amidst 

this world so dark and bleak.

And as I’ve sought, I’ve often read that -

few shall find the gate 

that puts us on this path that’s penned 

as narrow and as straight.

 

Thus, I can’t help but wonder �" 

“Will I be one of the few

who by chance finds this narrow gate 

and then knows what to do?”

 

The odds against such seem as though 

I hardly stand a chance,

when all there be to fill my sails 

are winds of circumstance.

But somewhere also in the verse 

there is another clue -

“Seek, you’ll find. Ask, you’ll receive. 

Knock, it shall be opened unto you.”

 

So, it would seem that if 

I ever want to walk this path,

I better take some time alone

to pray and humbly ask,

and make resolve �" 

“No matter what he asks of me, I’ll do!”

Then I can hold faith knowing that… 

I’ll be one of the few.
