The Road To You

How many more steps til I am home? Til I see your beautiful smile and loving face? We have been on this journey for over 40 years now and I am ready to call it a day. How many more sunrises and sunsets will I see? And how many more times will I sing Amazing Grace through the pain? I have handed my heart to you and now I plead for you to just scoop me up and carry me the rest of the way. I have seen your footsteps in the sand. I have seen the highest mountaintops and the lowest valleys too. What more do we have to go through together, Lord? What more? If it takes a million and one more steps I will walk them with you. If I have to swim all the way to the moon I will. If I have to sail to the equator in my dreams then so be it. I will do whatever I gotta do to travel down this road to you and into your loving arms. Selah. Gwendolen Rix 2-25-15

Beautiful poem, Gwendolen. I can feel your pain, and yet your devotion, too, to our Father in heaven. A great write!

Who knows how many more steps, how many miles to go? Be assured that by your faith, the distance is unknown but the guaranteed destination is assured. Nice prose, Gwendolen. Viv x
