The Straight And Narrow – A poem about not fearing what may happen

Posted in Poetry by Amanda at 12:28 on 3rd August 2008

This poem is all about life and the challenges you will face along your journey.

It is not so much a biblical teaching for me but a life coaching and inspirational teaching. I do have faith but not in a greater being, only in myself and the greatness all around us.

Although people will perceive this poem to be religious relating this to the author, I do believe this is nothing more than an insight into a great mind and a life lived without fearing consequence.

I know the path; it is straight and narrow.

It is like the edge of a sword.

I rejoice to walk on it,

I weep when I slip.

God’s word is; “He who strives never perishes”.

I have implicit faith in the promise,

Though, therefore, from my weakness I fail a thousand times,

I shall not lose faith.

- Gandhi
