Which Will Be Correct Trail

Which Will Be Correct Trail 

It was not correct trail that I took
Should have been one beside a brook
That weaved through woods nearby
On my instincts and God could rely.

Sun in sky climbed higher and higher
Brightening up day and removing mire
So things more clearly could be found
As I had walked behind my hound.

Always seemed to know the way back
Never had he ever lead me off-track
Appeared to be following scent of food
In right direction his eyes were glued.

This poem many times priest did mention
Whenever in ranks there is any dissension
When you want to be shown the right way
With God as guide will not be lead astray.

James Thomas Horn
Retired Veteran, Poet and Episcopalian

I relied on Father Dave's sermon today
as a guide to compose this poem. Also,
"Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost provided 
a perfect example of a poem I dearly love.
