The Light Path
The name “The Light Path” comes from a dream I had nearly 40 years ago. So vivid, I woke up and wrote a poem about it. I was walking at night and needed to go through a woods. It was so dark. Then a light shone from the other side, and lit up my path. The scripture is ‘Thy word shall be a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path’. I have loved that forever since God gave me that message.
The Poem
The distant woods holds darkness,
The road ahead seems long.
As I approach, I falter;
My doubts creep all around.
My chosen path has led me here
Yet, can I find my way?
Is my trusted judgment sound?
I want to run, not stay!
Amid the darkened wall of tress
A narrow path appears.
The light that calls from yonder side
Tells me the way is clear.
Appearance holds no terror now,
I have no need for fear.
I move ahead with gladness
For God is with me here.
The narrow path and wall of trees
Now seem not foe, but friend.
Guided by my Inner Light
My heart is strong again.
As I approach the darkness
My step is strong and sure,
For guided by God’s unseen hand
I’m confident, secure.
No matter where the path leads
Through stormy night or calm
The Light of God surrounds me
And I am safe from harm.
