My Walk

My Walk

A Poem by Donna DeLong Matthews aka Gold Pen Ghost

 

 

 

 





†††  My Walk   †††



It's at this time of my life
when in reflection my life plays
knowing my time is numbered
to fewer and fewer days

With so many years passed
so many roads walked
so much said
so much untalked

I would hope my Love has shown
to those held so deep in my heart
I pray my actions revealed
Your presence from the start

This road we call life
is rocky at times
Some steep mountains
we all have to climb

When I look at the stormy clouds
and compare to the times so high
My life has been so rich
because of the walk of You and I

In times of trial
and when I am in need
on bended knee
To You I always plead
 
It is when I see
but one set of prints in the sand
I feel Your awesome love
and cling tightly to Your hand
It is to You that I turn
When I feel I can not go on
It is always You
I know I can depend upon

My Family and Friends
are my daily pleasures
It is because of only You
I have such earthly treasures

I pray that long beyond my passing
My love of You
will spill upon others
in the things that I now do

So in times of trial and of joy
In silence and when I need to talk
It is with You, my precious Savior,
who beside me always walks.

Donna, this a an uplifting gem amonst a treasure of words, I could feel my soul sweeping into the beauty of the sentiment
of an everlasting premonition of wonder, life love and happiness, sadness, experiences that shape the heart and free the mind,
as your graceful poem does with ease, the intentions are sweetly subtle and divine, you have a way with expression
that is passionate, vibrant and hallmark couldnt write something with as much conviction and company, loved this

and now Donna, it is my turn....never stop writing with that creative and wonderful mind. I'm not sure you realize just how great you are. This is another example of what is in your heart and soul, and its so beautiful-and as always directly from your inner soul.
