Your Ways

Your ways are not like my ways
Not the same way that I would do things
Unconventional to say the least, I must say
Yet somehow you’ve still managed to change me

Lean not unto my own understanding you said
So I could never say that you didn't try to warn me
I lean so far sometimes, depending on my natural mind
That I fall right down on my natural behind
Causing much of my own pain and suffering

I could never comprehend the way that you move
I could never tell whether you’ll choose this day
But somehow I always know when you've been there
Your ways are unknown, and at times uncomfortable
But I still wouldn't want to have it any other way

The way that you think and reason is far beyond me
The understanding that you posses
Is much too far out of my reach

Your ways are not my ways,
and now I begin to see more clearly
That the plans you have for my life
Are always the best ways for me
