ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER©

We travel the highway of life, depending upon the road,

Some trails have been blazed before us, as others their burdens towed.

Yet there are still roads untraveled, paths filled with trials unknown,

A bridge that cannot be walked on, a trail we’d rather postpone,

The thorns that pierce through shoe leather, the vines that wrap round your feet,

Obstacles laid out before you, seem difficult to complete,

Your body is wracked with suffering, your mind is filled with fear,

Your thoughts of never getting there, the frightening sounds you hear,

The eternal trepidation, the everlasting distress,

Can nothing end this disaster, will no one hear your request,

There has to be a Redeemer, to rescue you from your plight,

Someone to lead you from your fears, and guide you through the night,

One who will be your natural bridge and lead you from certain death,

Your Savior is Christ, Jesus who gives you new life and breath,

Wrap your mind around this truth and He will help you get there,

Troubles may seem overwhelming and fear may paralyze,

But when you walk with God’s true Son, You’ll walk with wide, open eyes.
