Knowing isn’t the Same as Seeing

I wait and listen for your word,
give me direction to this life of mine.
I pray and search for your light,
through the darkness to the single line.

My way ahead is for me to choose,
you have given me all that’s wise.
The life I lead filled with so much hope,
I just need to know the truth from the lies.

The spirit comes to me whenever I ask,
my soul is showered in its glorious being.
This is true even as I make the same mistakes,
because knowing isn’t the same as seeing.

I will find my way to my final resting place,
not in the ground, a box, or ceramic vase.
For my heart is clear and you know it well,
your home is where I’ll end this race.
