Hi Roy,
I enjoyed to read this poem. Indeed what lies ahead in the future is uncertain. But walking a path with God in our heart and follow its teachings, that is the way to go and live.

This is a sweet piece. The metaphors leave us with both a spiritual slant and a romantic one, although the spiritual slant is stronger. Good job and good luck.

Hi Roy:)
Your poem is a wonderful interpretation of Psalm 23:1-4,6. Just as David accepts the pathways where God leads, he has no fear of the future.

I believe if we follow the path of righteousness, our dreams (both those that come with sleep and those that are our positive aspirations for what will be.)

eare lest left to discovery as life goes on. Trust in God and be worry free. That's the path to happiness.

Thank you for sharing . I wish I had six stars to share.

Roger

Very well versed in rhyme to remind us all of a time in our near future our resurrected bodies will be fashioned according to his will. Your quote of the psalmist
is a psalm for us all. All the Best

To me, your well-crafted poem speaks of embracing the present. Live it fully, and the future can be shaped in increments. And not as many dreams will die. Let the present be an eternal moment.
