Will You Come and Follow Me?

I’m at a crossroad in my life
There are two paths ahead of me
One that leads to a nice little nest
The other leads to an unknown quest

There is a high cost
In choosing between the two
I can’t go forward and stay the same
I must give up a part of myself in this game

If I stay on my current path
I will have the security
Of knowing that things will
Continue as they are—void of thrill

If I take the unfamiliar path
I will lose the comfort that I’ve known
And the protection of the
Success that I have sown

If I take the new path
I will gain untold growth
Excitement of a new beginning
And the enrichment of self-fulfillment

This decision would be easy
If it was just I in this clutch
But my life is connected
To all those I touch

If I drop everything to follow him
I will gain questionable success at best
And sleepless nights of wondering
Who suffered due to my blundering

How can I throw away what I have
For a dream that I may never hold
With paralyzing doubt questioning
What this man’s quest holds for me

If only I could see into the future
It would make my choosing easier
To remain on the path of safety
Or seize the path of fulfillment
