Way

It's straight, I think, and gladly start, Faith and hope and trust fill my heart; Flora and fauna and fields fresh, Climbers and creepers crawl enmesh...! Trails with bushes and choke and block, I twist and turn and thwack the lock; Hills and vales and mountain- cliffs curl, Way unto way many ways furl...! Dogs and cats are part of the way, Could cattle and hogs keep away; Mild and wild are beasts of jungles, Seem perplexed as though in bungles...! Men and women rich and poor join, Good and bad seem sides of same coin; Yet, when Jesus says: I'm the way, Who will, with him, succeed to stay...? 24 April 2023
