Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
A light spiritual reflection and meditative exercise
And then there's Grace
: The Walk by Carolyn 'Deaton' Stephens




The Walk

I took a walk today,
down by the lake,
spring fed
Lying cool in the morning sun.

I walked through trees, tall and stately,
saw wild flowers, a few cattails,
and marveled at what God had done.

The simple things, the path once cleared,
tangled now with creeping vines
Still well marked by someone who knew the way
Inviting all to come, walk this way today.

My thoughts turned to mansions,
beautiful, serene and bright
I walked on in comfort and peace,
blessed by the morning light

Compared to forever
Today took no place
'Twas but a gracious reminder of
His Eternal Embrace

Author Notes
Thanks to Stacey Nagy for the beautiful lake scene

Written in early 80's but still a timely thought
