Jessica Renee Dawson Poet Triolet

On the Path of Life

On the path of life
	I keep on stumbling,
as I seek the way
	that’s straight and narrow

In the wilderness
	I started grumbling —
on the path of life
	I keep on stumbling.
When every stumble
	is oh so humbling
		I exhale a prayer
			for grace upon the morrow 

On the path of life
	I keep on stumbling,
as I seek the way
	that’s straight and narrow



* Note: A triolet with broken lines.
