Fiona Wallace Poet I do not know?

Minds Eye

Take your time
And count it down
Nothing's going to change right now
The stones were set years before
You laid them down, you chose the floor,
And now the path only bends when it needs to flee
the weeds the worms the shrubbery

So take your time 
Stop for air
Yes, quick steps will get you there
but at the end of the path-the win is short
And tired feet is all you've got

So ease your pace and smell the air,
A free mind can take you anywhere.

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
