Trials on the trail of life

                         Trials on the trail of life   

What is this furor?

Why this uproar?

No murderer or sinner

I’m no criminal or offender.

I walk, I run

exploring new terrain.

With the jest of a child

just learning to toddle and stride.

I fear not a fall,

of getting bruised or burnt.

Learning each day

with faith in my heart-

For I know you have sanctified my path.

I may fumble or trip,

over the stones laid on the trail.

I may lose my route on dark alleyway-

But with my resolve strong, my destination untainted,

you Master Maker will smooth out my wounds.

At the end of the dark tunnel there will be your glowing light-

Illuminating my being, erasing the pain,

for I would have passed each test each trial on life’s lane.
