Many are the miles I've traveled, <br /> Disappointments I've had, not a few; <br /> the path was not always visible, <br /> And I walked by faith, it is true. <br /> But there was a presence near me, <br /> And it seemed I could hear Him say, <br /> "Listen, My child, to my counsel, <br /> When I tell you, this is the ay." <br /> <br /> There's another path well traveled, <br /> Where it seems there's plenty of light, <br /> And the joyous sounds of the walkers <br /> Shows they are walking by sight. <br /> But, nearing the and, the sky grows dark, <br /> and their eyes behold a form -- <br /> A messenger of darkness to score them <br /> Right into the midst of the storm. <br /> <br /> How important it is in days of youth, <br /> To choose the path we should follow; <br /> Our end could come in the city of light, <br /> OR else in sins darkness we'll wallow <br /> For sin has been expelled from heaven <br /> And allowed nevermore to return, <br /> and those who've followed its evil ways <br /> Shall never god's Bounty discern,<br /><br />John F.
