What's Within

                                Morning Walk

                      Amidst the dew of early dawn,
                      I took a morning walk.
                      And along with me, I took a Friend,
                      For I felt a need to talk.
                      I unburdened both my heart and soul,
                      And spoke many things:
                      Of plans gone wrong, of failure's pain,
                      And how to live with shattered dreams.
                      My Friend just listened quietly,
                      And uttered not a word.
                      For it was His time to listen,
                      And my time to be heard.
                      His sympathetic ear brought peace,
                      As we walked this earthly sod.
                      And I learned to trust life again,
                      On my morning walk with God.
