Coasting

Hands off the throttle

Traveling along with no destiny in sight

One day follows another

Never knowing where this road leads

I try to take no fears with me

Knowing my God is always near

Hoping my sacrifices

Will be fruitful

Then at journey's end

I can look back

Seeing beautiful flowers

Growing along the road

This was very sweet. I loved the lines "Hoping my sacrifices will be fruitful." For me, it's what really connected me to your beautiful poem.

In the sight of Love, fear isn't even as great as a single hair:  in the law of Love, everything is offered as a sacrifice

Marcia,

Smiles. Not that I know or you know, but, well, I guess that's what happens when one finally gets over the hill ...


"Coasting"

... and, yes, we'll finally have that special special time to take in all the Beautiful Beautiful flower memories and such in our lives.

I loved the metaphoric found here and I really really loved your poem.

God bless you and, again, thank you (Thank You) for sharing.

-Bob

The assurance of our heavenly Father's love, changes our hopeless striving to delightful offerings.  Leaning on Him we can coast rather than strive.  I really appreciate this thoughtful poem.  Makes one think a little deeper.

God bless,

You have found the answer.  Complete trust in God and letting His way be the way.  Joyce
