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

A stunning example of free verse that describes the evolution of a culture. Whenever we follow prayer, it leads us to a better place. Nicely done, Donny. Take care, Carolyn
