Guiding Light
Life may not be smooth sailing
Around each ocean bend,
Yet strength to weather the storm
Faith will lend.
God exists a friend who
Stands by one until the end.
His Word shines precepts
One will comprehend.
Yes! Artistry in pastel blend
Evolves from prayers one sends.
Forgiven when one has sinned,
One goes whistling down a
Wild n westerly wind
Worthy of one real friend.
