424. Follow my way

He is a puritan friend of mine.
    He wants me to live
    My life in his way.
    Why should I?

I am a seeker.
    I want to live my life
    In my own way.
    Why should I not?

To the puritan friend of mine, God says:
    “Don’t be a beggar,
    You will fail.”

To me, God says:
    “Don’t be a chooser,
    You will fail.
    Follow My Way:
    My Way is the only filler
    Of your empty life.
    My Way is the only fulfiller
    Of your soul’s ancient promise.”
