The Right Path Taken Many steps I walked the road that seemed to be mistaken feeling lost most my life, stranded and forsaken until a vision confronted me, and deep my soul awaken and led me by along the road to the right path taken. Before that time, I didn’t think of all the gaffes I made even those intended and friends that I betrayed I merely walked without regard, as if a masquerade pretending to be someone else, even when I prayed. I couldn’t look, reflect back, of where that I had been embarrassment mixed with guilt for each my every sin led astray along the road by wickedness within a dormant virtue of my heart failing to begin. ‘til that night, when seeing her and the things she said reprehensible as I was, though my soul she read what followed was a rocky road, and many tears we shed, regardless of mindless plans, I fell in love instead. A pinnacle came about for what we had attained though turbulence was prevalent and seemed to ever reign and even a connection stretched and ‘er so strained kept our love alive and endless, for what our hearts contained. Fortitude and her strength from Above our Lord opened wide my heart and soul, a world I’d not explored and learning that His Gift of Love was my just reward, and hers too, as she walked and guided me toward… the right path taken.

About the Book
The right path taken is a choice anyone can make, but it requires an explicit reason, a precise purpose, and a yearning motivation to walk the journey of life in the shadow of God.
In this book, The Right Path Taken, poetry chronicles the rewards of change. It illustrates the various dimensions of love and how walking on the side of the Heavenly Father can provide the glories of remuneration that are not available on the road that is inherent with evil.
About the Author
Terry Lawrence began his journey of life in northeastern Ohio in a charming small town along the Ohio River. After his graduation from Youngstown State University in Youngstown, Ohio and armed with several degrees in business, his 40-year career expedition transported him to Washington, D.C., Baltimore MD, St. Petersburg FL, Los Angeles CA, Las Vegas NV, and Athens, Greece. It wasn’t until 2008 Terry experienced an explosion of his creative prowess when he launched his own poetry website and published his first book, Journey of Life. This book, The Right Path Taken, is his second in a planned series that archives the various dimensions of love relative to his own personal relationship with God, friends, and especially his own life partner. Because of the love he discovered, with the intervention of God, coupled with his new surroundings living in Vancouver WA, nestled in the beautiful and awe-inspiring Northwest, Terry encountered a life-changing transformation where he was able to take the right path of life. A lighted path that radiated an appreciation for God, life, character, righteousness, and, more than anything else, love.
