This was one of those wonderful sessions where I would not have come up with this one by myself, and the words flowed without pause ...
The father and the son
Walk hand in hand.
One guiding and loving,
One trying hard to understand.
In the role of teacher
The father spells things out.
In the role of student
The son searches all about.
Together they walk through this life
Walking side by side.
As the boy grows taller
His father watches him with pride.
All of life is like this pair,
For no one walks alone.
All are guided by a Force
That’s closer than a phone.
Your Father walks beside you
Only not in body form.
The guidance He gives to you
In words does not conform.
It’s love and life that pulses -
Keeps you moving ever on …
The prodding of the Spirit
Which you can rely upon.
And like a loving parent
This loving Force is always there –
An ever-present source of grace
That holds you in its care.
Walk on and know
That even if your steps do falter,
The love of God is there with you;
This Force you cannot alter.

"For no one walks alone." The comparison of the earthly father/son (teacher/student) to our relationship with Spirit is effective and flows lovingly throughout today's poem. Be confident and "walk on and know" that even though we make mistakes in living our lives, the "love of God" is always present. Another message of hope for those of struggling to learn life's lessons...
ReplyDeleteOn to enjoying life today in the secure knowledge that we never walk alone...
How beautiful. Gods love is pure light and has no limits...
ReplyDeleteThis poem immediately reminds me of my husbands dad who passed away almost two years ago. They were so close and by each others side till the end. There was not one day in my husbands life that he did not see or talk to his father. "It's love and light that pulses-Keeps you moving ever on.."
