With shoulders slumped and head hung low,
She ambled down path of despair.
Her spirit had lost all its luster and fire,
~ She was rudderless and going nowhere.

Around and around, and around she went,
~ She saw no beginning or end.
History kept on repeating itself,
With nothing new ‘round the bend.

She carried a weight on her shoulders,
A yoke encircled her throat.
Her boots were heavy and leaden,
There were hundreds of holes in her boat.

With nary a dime in her pockets,
She was beaten and broke and was sad.
She had fallen off of the Light Path,
And her luck turned from good ~ to all bad.

As she clung to the end of her life rope,
The skies opened up to gold rays.
Beings of Light began singing,
Of the end of her dark, dismal days.

She lifted her eyes to the heavens,
She opened her heart to Divine.
She stepped back onto the High Road,
As she welcomed the heavenly sign.

Her spirit rejoiced in the shining,
She was home where she did belong.
She vowed to never go straying,
As she joined the angels in song.

Ah- would that we all could be blessed with such an epiphany and miracle - this is filled with hope - like you - angelic one-

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Isn't it good to know that He coined the word

Forgive

?

I think the process begins, however,
when we hear it with our heart...

I enjoy writing on the virtues of faith, hope and charity. I'm glad you enjoyed this poem that hopefully gives hope to the hapless.

(big angel hugs) Yay! Awwwwwww, I believe home is where the heart is and that is an axiom I believe in every day! (kiss on cheek) I love coming home always and seeing my little sister design another one of her lyrical T-shirts or my mom smiling as I walk in, where she's watering her orchards! Yay, this is wonderful, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
