Changing

For we have thought the longer thoughts And trod the road to stray. And we have sung the songs of hill, Then uttered words of fray; But to Him we owe these lives we owed Now it's time to lay A glowing candle in shadowed path And humbled our knees to pray. "For we have thought the longer thoughts " the first line of the poem "Chapter Heading" by Ernest Hemingway

Amen this was a beautiful poem. Sometimes I'm wordless. Its all the same here. There was a quality to it, kind of lets say divine magic. Superb! Best wishes, Chitra
