Walk Alone I sit here contemplating how you walk alone taking each day as another fork in the road, avoiding the near casualties like little bumps along the way instead of rocky mountains like they could be. You always seem to persevere no matter the circumstances. Your arms are always outstretched to catch the stumbling. Your eyes are blind to evil that prevails around you. Your heart is overflowing with love like lava overflowing from a volcano. How does one find this gracious path to follow without getting side tracked along the way? The answer lies within us all, sometimes right at the surface just waiting for us to seek it out. Other times it needs a bit more searching to discover it's identity hidden within our being. We can all walk alone, yet are we alone if every step we take is taken with outstretched arms, blinded eyes, and love like lava overflowing to all we encounter. The path is as close as our footsteps look for it as you venture out each day and know that each step is a step in the right direction. |

I hear your message of life as a journey that is filled with choices, all ours to make. And we are only as alone as we chose to be. Great read, thank you. 02 |

Your poem,Lost Dreamer, to me, seems most ironic.In one way it is up to us to find our way & find the right path for our feet--and in that sense it seems that we are alone-but behind the scenes, and with us all the way is a Loving Lord cheering us on. Knowing this, while in life's choices we may seem, to feel isolated, yet faith reveals, our aloness is but an illusion--the reality is a God who is near, & dear. Great Poem! Thank you, David "Our Creativity points to a Higher Creator--we couldn't have just happened, and for what ability we may possess--to God be the glory." -dlw- |

You know sometimes in life that path seems lonely or we seem to stray. But, ya know, you said every step is in the right direction. It is so, everything in life we do is headed somewhere. With the Lord guiding us it is always in the right direction. <*\\\>< When you can't make up your mind Which way is right for you, Stop and softly ask yourself, What Would Jesus Do? |

absolutely ditto to every single comment! We often feel like we are walking this path alone, and are unsure that the choices we are making are right, but behind us the Lord is giving us the strenth and encouragement, and leading us in the right direction, it's just a matter of us trusting that. What a great poem Lost Dreamer! |

If we think about what you said, it is so true, but for those of us that have the Lord on our side we are never alone, your poem has meaning, and truth, and oh so real today, Thanks Sandy OWPEMT |

Our feeling all alone truly is our own lack of knowledge or faith. With knowledge, we must be responsible to use it, and wow, the bonuses are awesome! Very nicely done. |
