Backroad Drifter
The Lonesome Path....
Today I found a little path
that seemed to call to me
so i went down the tiny trail
to see what I could see.....
It seemed to go for miles and miles
this lonesome path I'd found
and i could feel summers warmth
as i walked upon the ground.....
deep within the woods i saw
a tiny bench of stone
Just waiting for a visitor
where once had been a home
As I sat upon the mossy stone
I felt Gods spirit close to mine
and i asked that He hear all the prayers
in this world, this day in time....
I asked that this war be ended and
the poor be blessed with more
I asked that all the children be
kept safe from shore to shore.
I asked for many blessings as
I sat upon that stone
For i knew that He was listening
I did not fell I was alone....
I knew i should be going for
this day so soon would end...
and I noticed that the tiny path
was much wider than it'd been.
I went around a bend and saw
a place that seemed to be
as peacfull as the tiny path
where life seemed so care free....
I knew that i was close to home
So i took time to sit some more
and wished i had a cabin of
my own upon this shore.....
I saw the shadows forming on
the water and i knew......
this journey that i took today
was close to being through.....
i saw some stones upon the path
and paused to rest & sit awhile..
I knew this was a special place
I had to share somehow....
I huried for i knew that this
fine day was ending fast
and wished all days could be this way
that the peacefullness could last..
I looked up and saw what seemd to be
a white cross painted in the sky
and felt as though the Angels were
smiling down and saying hi......
The sun was setting when i reached
home safe once more again
i watched it dance before my eyes
and could only say Amen....
