The unlit torch

[Earth-Angel]

I was standing alone on the highway,

the wind whipping at my pack.

I was a million miles from Graceland,

I never wanted to look back.

Well my father always taught me,

"Son, you'd better learn how to fly.

Because there's nothing here worth living for

except your maker in the sky".

The road is always long and winding

with no footsteps to guide your way.

You're following Him blindly

Hoping to make it home some day.

You have to keep walking on blindly

Just to make it home one day.

There will be forks in the road left to sway you

and many hard choices to make.

Relying on nothing but instinct,

learning from every mistake.

Signboards whose paint has long faded

directions to places unclear.

But the unlit torch will never stop burning for you

and you'll feel His love drawing you near.

I thought it was quite a nice one for a Sunday

This was very good. I admire the way you got your point across, but it flowed so nicely. You really have a way with words. I enjoyed reading this a lot.

[Earth-Angel]

Thank you Chris I seem to write best when I just let the words flow instead of thinking about them too much.

Whoa, I just now read this, and that is fantastic. You have inspired me to post some of my writing.
