Joyce Johnson Poet Pantoum

Accompanied

Thanks to Him for staying with me
Through the river, vale and valley.
He holds me so tenderly,
While my flagging spirits rally.

Through the river, vale and valley
I am never on my own.
While my flagging spirits rally,
I am not walking all alone.

I am never on my own.
My Lord keeps me safe and warm.
I am not walking all alone
And He protects me from all harm.

My Lord keeps me safe and warm.
I swim safely to the shore
And He protects me from all harm
As He carries me once more.

I swim safely to the shore.
He holds me so tenderly
As he carries me once more.
Thanks to Him for staying with me.

Beautiful entry for the pantuom contest, my friend. Winning wishes coming your way. As for evolution of a life shared, I don't even know where Brian's results are. Love, Carolyn
