Analysis of Walking Circumspectly



Heaven’s pearly gates, a mere steppingstone,
Compared to the even loftier, Almighty throne!

Talking with our Savior one never exists alone.
One becomes less sin-prone or windblown.

Good seeds sown brings a plush garden grown,
Walking in a firmly anchored, holy, zone.

After quiet moments in prayer one has known,
And in Biblical wisdom one has grown,
Bold beautiful vistas one will be shown,
One’s spirit akin to a regal eagle flown!
