Unplanned Changes

Changes in our paths, our walk with God
unplanned, beyond our comprehension
in time we may know, why they came
into our lives at this time and place
hard to fathom sometimes
what is in store on this new road
the fork in the road taken this time
into the untrammeled wood
the city down the road
into an unknown land, a far off country
or around the bend, wherever
life takes us; be open for that new path
that unplanned course, for growth lies there
service may be in your future
hope lives in embarking
onto that new path,
the unplanned changes
in our lives
