The Homeward Path We'd wandered through the woods and hills. Ate lunch where roaring water spills Into a pool, so deep and green. Here early signs of spring were seen. Some water cress along the edge And here and there, the grassy sedge. The storm that caught us by surprise, Sent roiling clouds across the skies And winds that tore at bare-branched trees. It nearly knocked us to our knees. We quickly turned our steps to go Back to our home, but now the snow Came driving in to screen the view And chill us to the marrow too! We struggled on, not sure if we Remembered where our trail should be. It seemed we might have gone astray, But we kept going anyway. Then, suddenly, a light appeared, Illuminated, as we peered At all the forestland around And there the homeward path was found! Much later, dry and warm once more, The storm still blew outside our door. We felt that light was Heaven-sent And realized just what it meant. He watches us both night and day And sends His light, to guide our way. With grateful hearts, we thanked Him then, For keeping us safe, once again!
