The Strength of Tenderness

pansy2

The ground is hard beneath my feet,

The air so sharp.

Still I travel

Where you lead

Hoping for a sign.

Stopping for a moment’s rest,

I discover hope’s gentle face

And sweet scent

Beckoning me on.

I smile,

Then rested and restored,

I travel on.

    It is important every once in a while to stop, smell the roses and recharge in the presence of God.

    I have done a lot of stopping and reflecting lately, and it is good.
