A lonely lamb
Trying to walk the sacred path
Confused on which way she's going
Slips up and takes the 'broad and spacious'
Appealing enough, she thought
But because she was in plain sight
Got taken advantage of by the wolves, the snakes,
No one to defend her
She wanders the road aimlessly
The appealing road leading to nothing
Infatuated with the scenery,
While the flowers slowly whither around her
What once looked bright now looks so grim
The broad road seems to get wider
More wolves lurking behind the shadows
No place to serve as her sanctuary
Suddenly there's a fork in the road
The narrow road she's heard talked about
She veers to the right
Finally her journey has a purpose
The narrow road may not look so pretty
It may have hills, may have rocks,
But look at her destination
A beautiful paradise
No wolves lurking in the shadows
Plenty of shady trees for shelter
Plenty of great food to eat
And even a guide to show her the way
She labors on
Focused, walking with purpose
No longer feeling so hopeless
The paradise is within her reach
