I Choose

Yes, I have walked through the valley of the shadow of death.

And, I have known evil.

But, I choose not to do that any longer.

I have faced demons that had the same faces of the ones I love.

I have battled the devil in the form of those who “cared”.

And, I choose to forgive….and go on.

I have faced evil in the form of my own addictions and desires…

I have battled myself and lost….

But,

I have chosen to up my odds,

I have chosen to raise the bar and

I have chosen to Believe.

To Believe in a power higher than myself…

Call it what you wish…

I call Him, Father…

I call Him, Brother and

I call Him, my Savior.

And, now …

When I walk through the valley of the shadow of death …

I  fear no evil.
