Each Day's Travels Just An Echo of Time

Each Day's Travels Just An Echo Of Time New dawn and I read that great epic book, Simple verses of life and its clear tolls. Reading one can clearly see what it took, Faith, understanding and setting firm goals. Seeking anew, a better life sublime, Listening to words written by a sage. Each day's travels just an echo of time, Finding wisdom to live in this dark age! Walking along a bad path, life's black share, Hides a quiet spot that soothes man's sad soul. If found, it gifts so much and life seems fair, Sailing forth, life's ship on a gentle roll. Even in deep waves of wild, stormy seas, One stands tall, not fallen on bended knees! Robert J.

A gift, from a greater power that sees all and never abandons..
