My Resting Place~22 August 2014

Pilgrims' Path

With my staff to share my load

My quest, is my constant goad

And joy my Pilgrims' Path.

Though sometimes I feel faint,

I look forward with all joy to rest.

A higher calling than my flesh

That earthly ear can hear,

Is ever calling to me with love

To draw closer, draws me near.

Closer still by this path, pilgrim weary worn

A path my flesh would have chosen last,

Nor turning back if eye can only see

The next step ahead with certain clarity.

I have learned to trust the loving whisper.

Courage friend, for I am near

Even down life's troubled path

Even through your troubled years.

                                                                Right dowh to the trails end

                                                               And even beyond your earthly cares,
                                                              Still, I am with you friend.
