I wrote this on a long car ride during a blizzard. Cars were flipped over in the ditches about every ten yards. It was scary, but I know God was watching over us. Because of our destination, it was an emotional journey for me. And as I saw the wrecked cars pass by through my window, this is what I thought.
I’m driving on an icy road
In the dark, cold night.
Cars upside-down and in ditches
To my left and to my right.
I must drive cautiously and slowly
So I do not pay the price
For not being aware
Of the misleading black ice.
And these other cars,
I have no doubt,
Will be much more careful
After being saved from their spin-out.
This road is my life,
My temptations
-the ice.
Others are not careful
And lose control,
And into the ditches and depression
They roll.
They have to sit there
Until they call
On the One Who can save them
When they fall.
I must focus on the road
And not go too fast,
Because I never know
When I’ll be driving for my last.
