Never would I have thought I would start
writing at 73 years of age. I have thoroughly enjoyed my voyage into the written spirituality of poetry and thank God for the opportunity. In my three years here I have met many new and wonderful persons. Having them accept me as a friend has been a moving experience.

The last verse of “The Path in the Sky”
by Amos R. Wells published in 1939
The first three verses deal with a coachman
on a dark night, driving through the forest by
looking at the stars through the opening between
the treetops and are not remarkable. But
I liked this last verse.
“And since, when the path of my life is drear,
and all is blackness and doubt and fear,
When the horrors of midnight are here below
and I see not a step of the way to go,
then, ah! then I can look on high
and walk on earth by the light in the sky.”
