Flashes

Flashes of vanity mingled with pride
Yet the flashes of doubt I try to hide 
Never facing the face inside 
Saying it's never known til it's tried

I say this knowing it's never true
Yet I ask myself, what's a man to do 
And there, the doubt comes peeking thru
As I resume the show put on for you. 

I struggle with the man I am to be
As I stand between this and reality 
As only part of me does plainly see
What's required of that which has made me

But how can one ever be sure 
And discern for himself what's beyond allure 
Sensing that while on this short tour 
A feeling of being made for much more 

But I feel the pull of all that I am 
By all the things that make me a man
And I try to ignore them the best that I can 
And I know that this is neighly a plan 

I thus have to change where I place my trust 
To not be led by mind or desire or lust 
And place treasure in God I know that I must 
Where no thief approaches nor moth corrupts 

So this is where I now sit and I pray 
And hope that night is turned into day 
So I can see my steps guided along this way 
And never more be self led astray.
