Poem: The journey has led me far and wide
I have truly gone the distance
From up on the mountain, down the slimy pit
I have gone with very little assistance
Many times I''ve wanted to give up
I am alive, I have not died!
I have huddled in the corner where now I sit.
They look at me, blindly seeing a blob none know,
But comfort they can''t give to make me whole,
If I am to make it through to God,
I am to sojourn around the mountain
Until He says,"Come, my child, come journey home."
"I am with you, I am with you now, wherever you go."
Peace like a river settles in my soul
I will allow God to lift me out of the pit and wash my tear stained face in a bowl.
I come up to work another day
Helping others who feel this way
My journey almost complete,
I am going some day to my final home.
