Down life's pathway

While traveling down life’s pathway,

The road, it seems so rough.

To know which way to go,

Oh, why must it be so tough?

Which path should I choose;

The smooth or full of gravel?

I sit here and muse,

Just which way should I travel?

I have no map to guide me,

Nor stars to chart my course.

And as far as I can see,

This just makes matters worse.

A stranger passes me by,

Stops, and gives me a little book.

I have no choice but to comply,

And give the pages a look.

As I read the pages within,

I begin to find to my personal Guide.

He gently gives me what I need,

And walks right by my side.

Though His lantern gives little light,

I trust Him for each step I take.

For me to know, it’s not my right,

And so I follow my Guide.

In His presence, I feel so humble,

He always shows His love and mercy.

And when upon a rock I stumble,

He always lifts and helps me.

I know He’ll ever be my Guide,

And show me what I need to know.

He will never leave my side,

Whichever way I go.

This one came to me today.... I am not exactly very good at poetry. I mean, I certainly can't sit down and write it all the time like some can. However, every once in a while, God gives me one, so I write them down.  I hope you enjoy this one.

Thank you, also, to those who have sent sweet notes full of love and comfort.  I really appreciate them! :-)

In Christ's Service,
