I lost my way on the path of love
From running way too hard
Here and there and everywhere
With complete disregard
To the shoes and sanity
That one must have and wear
For the first were torn and worn
The second needed repair
Then you came and grabbed my hand
Directed me the right way
Pulled me from the dark of night
Into the bright of day
You gave me a new pair of shoes
One called Faith, the other Trust
And asked me to run along with them
I’d never felt such a thrust
Now I need to run no more
I merely stroll and walk
For I have you for company
To chatter and to talk
Away on the path of love
Me and you and you and me
Moving on towards our home
As happy as we could be
It’s a pair of shows we should order by the dozen and distribute liberally!

Hello, I like your blog. I am also a fan of poetry. However there is one Book which tells us of eternal life in Christ Jesus. I’d like to share this page with you. Have a blessed day.

It’s always difficult to walk the path alone, Frank. To have someone to hold your hand and walk with you, I must say, you are very lucky. Beautifully expressed. Happy Sunday!

I so related to the first part of this poetic gem, but my life turned out differently. No hand to hold, but a new pair of shoes on my own. 🙂
