a_walk_with_god daf r. dafremen I walked with God on a Sunday down a narrow path through autumn weeds and though the time spent there has passed the mem'ry still lingers on in me Down a concrete road we went awhile past a sign marked Private Property But I walked with God and God rules all things so that day the sign spoke not to me Down a rutted trail where the mud still bled from the tire tracks was where I was led the forest walls grew thick in that fortress free still they let me pass for God walked with me Yes I walked with God and God walked with me past a hunter's stand in a maple tree near a drinking hole where the deer came by but where bullets flew I stopped and thought awhile on the beauty there just a moment's bliss to appreciate what the hunters missed then the trees bowed low and my head bowed too in that sacred place God had brought me to "Child, it's time. Let's go." said the All to me so I moved along with the harvest breeze until we reached a meadow once again bereaved by the scars of cars that marred the earth beneath but I walked with God and God showed to me where the muddy cuts had begun to heal "This too shall pass" the Lord made it known "when the seasons turn and the grass has grown." So the tears that sought to trickle down my face turned to second thoughts in that battered place and instead the blues became a grateful smile that I shared with God as we walked the miles And though I knew not where the Flow would have me be as we walked along I witnessed silently the fleeting works of man within the permanency of a greater plan outlined in gold and green earthy browns and too the red of autumn leaves men choose to walk alone but God remains with these Soon the forest cleared I spied a building there and then I recognized both what it was and where I turned and thanked the Lord so amply blessed and home, for the enlightening quest for all that I was shown on that Sunday when I learned with loving care we need not walk alone the All is always there. 091115 ...
