Mixed Ways

In today’s world it is easy to get mixed up,

In the wrong crowd,

In the wrong place,

In the wrong way,

In the wrong path,

In the wrong advice,

We are easily moved by the wrong advisers,

We can make mistakes,

We can forget the lessons we have learned,

We have forgotten just how easy the pressures of life,

Can make it so simple,

To become mixed up,

Even if we are strong in our beliefs,

In our faith,

In our goals,

In our dreams,

If we are not careful how we watch our steps,

If we are not careful with whom we look to guide our way,

If we are not careful with what to do every day,

We can get mixed up,

And before we know it,

We are doing things we once told ourselves we would never do,

We are doing things we would urge others not to do,

We are doing things that hurt ourselves through and through,

It is so important in this world today,

That we take a stand every moment,

That we take a stand every day,

That we are always on our guard,

That we always trust the right person,

The right belief,

The right hope,

The right way,

In order to not get mixed up in this world,

Not to get mixed up in ways that can only hurt us,

In ways that can only damage us,

In ways that can only cause us grief,

In ways that can only cause us pain,

So let us remember these things,

And instead of being mixed up in ways of destruction,

Let us find ways of righteousness instead.
