"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."

Ralph Waldo Emerson

God's William

"Who are you?

Can you take my hand?"

"I am the Lord, your God.

I have hidden you in the shadow of my hand.

Stretching out the heavens."

Isaiah 51:15-16

"Will you lead me?

Will you let me stand?"

"He leads me beside still waters;

He restores my soul."

Psalm 23:2-3

"Lord, I am tired,

I am weak,

I am worn."

"Come to me all who labor,

And you will find rest for your souls."

Matthew 11:28-29

"I've traveled through the storms,

All through the night,

Lead me to the light."

"I am the resurrection and the life;

He who believes in me shall never die."

John 11:25-26

The darkness appeared,

The light drew near,

And the day has past and now is gone,

At the river you will stand,

Guide his feet, Lord, hold his hand.

"I feel you take his hand,

Oh Lord,

I understand,

Lead him home."

Today I grieve for you,

There is very little comfort in words,

And yet I know today,

We will celebrate for you,

For today,

Is the day you went Home.

A Lady Forever
