Day 29, Sonnet 29

The Lord does trace my steps when I do stray

In steady stride to catch me when I fall

His hand against my back to stop my sway

His open heart to hear my strangled call.

With turnéd back alone I cannot live

For I must learn to follow, let Him lead

With closéd eyes, my faith to Him I give

Take comfort in a heart by Jesus freed.

I may, at times, strike out alone and walk

Just like a child intent on leaving home

But He shall wait as ships do wait at docks

And not depart whilst I remain alone.

The Way of Grief has cleared a path to tread

With faith my blinded eyes see light ahead.
