Faith Paved Road


Too much pain wrestles in my dark,
forcing limps that stifle my spark.
Trekking life's long and winding road,
I seek You for a faith reload.
Praising Your road paved with truth's seed,
I will find where pain does recede.

I like your choice of song, and the application of it in your poem. I can relate to life being a long and winding road. I hope that, through all the tears, etc. it will always lead you to where you need to be.

some dude pictured on rice boxes, he was entering the poem, just as you were leaving, didn't you see him, sort of an orange smear? I was addressing you both in the same box, a hi and a bye. CayCay
