Growing In Wisdom
This journey was meant to be a mystery
designed to open eyes
The road isn't paved
warnings of tests have been written
Pay heed to all that is seen
in time understanding will come
At times it may as if you are alone
your feet maybe tired from the steps that you take
Everyday tested as metal
gleaming like a diamond
Refusing to bend
the load far too great
Crossing seas and rivers
nothing has been proven to stop you
Spreading wings for flight
my vision is bright
Dreams may come
refusing to live within them
Determined not to follow the fantasies of television
my path is divine
My help come from afar
the wind at back
Food nourish my soul
learning from wisdom of old
In the midst of war
a pen has has yielded many
In the time rest
thanks is given
So far to go
looking back at steps taken
The ways of my fathers have been refined
inbred within was their desire
Each day
a prayer leads me home
