Where ever it goes
Taking this path
Following the flow

There’s one road ahead
No choice it seems
Hills to my north
Just following dreams

No step without purpose
The path is not clear
Thou the mountains are steep
No harm do I fear

My foot be not dashed
On any a stone
Your promise to me
My spirit You hone

Using each trial and task
To tear away the old
Making me new
Refining me like gold

A little at a time
I begin to shine
Taking on your image
I’m no longer mine

Short and Sweet, how I like 'em. To tell the truth, I was weary when I read the title of this poem. It seems a bit atheistic to one who has not read your poem. However, I can see its new (and better) meaning now that I read it. You also gave me an Idea for another poem. About how God's trials better us so that make our own heaven.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
