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,
Sarah
