My goal was to enter college
and get a degree,
Then I met a man, a Godly
man,
He wanted to marry me!
My plans for college went
astray,
Quickly a change of goals,
Instead we were married on a
December day.
New plans, new goals together,
Days, weeks and months
passed,
It seemed I was to become a
Mother.
Goals for living, goals for
life,
Hard times, getting by,
No time for strife!
Goals to lead my family to
know God,
Their personal choice and
decision,
Out of my hands, their own
path to trod!
God’s goals; His desire that
all may seek Him,
To come of a free will,
To choose wisely and not on a
whim!
Do make it your goal to reach
God in Heaven,
Receive the Loving Savior,
Be warned to avoid the
leaven.
Setting Spiritual Goals at any
age,
Will place you on the upward
path,
In God’s Book your name is
written on His Holy page!

Oh Hazel! I loved this! And I just loved the last stanza. Yes, of all the things that are important in life, there is NOTHING that surpasses the joy of being written in the Book of Life!
Oh, what a wonderful Savior.
GOD BLESS!
You never fail to surprise me! That's an awesome poem and summary of a life well lived with the proper perspective. I like the reminder that God calls us to continue to set spiritual goals as we strive for His will... there is no greater purpose in life... Thanks, Hazel.
I love this Hazel. i dd not hold bitterness in your heart for your change but embrace it in Jesus name.
Oh Hazel, so full of wisdom. Your goal never changed, only your temporary assignments. Your goal was always to be obedient to the Lord,so you see, your goal is still the same today.
