A Walk In The Park

The dawn of a new day, rises with the sun;
my mind is to become a clean slate;
my mind overflows with what I’ve done;
and the changes, I’ve made, too late.

Words that I’ve uttered in innocence;
have devastated ones that I love;
thoughts; a land mine of ambivalance;
directed by the Master above.

I thought life was just a walk in the park;
with my Master, at my side;
I soon learned that the night became dark;
a place where evil could hide.

I was trusting of others; till proven wrong;
an illusion had obscured my vision;
evil had been hiding behind truth all along;
and destiny prescribed a collision.

Life’s journey provides bumps in the road;
it’s not like sailing the glassy sea;
fatigue of the mind makes faith erode;
and I’m not who I want me to be.

As this life’s end draws near; I reminisce;
recalling all things I’ve said and done;
that Master, I once betrayed with a kiss;
has joined all together as one.

I’ve discovered that life is a walk in the garden ;
a journey of memories; returning home;
securely in the Master’s love, and pardon;
with Love in my heart; I’m never alone.
