The Walk of Life

As I was walking,
Down the road of life;
I was met by frustration-
Sorrow and strife.
I ran into loneliness,
And saw it’s need;
To be loved and wanted,
Such a sad plead.
I talked with heartache,
About love gone bad;
To see it’s pain,
Left me sad.
And there was evil,
So cold and mean;
It’s violent intent,
Was clear to be seen.
But finally came kindness,
So warm and dear;
Never asking for anything,
Unconditionally clear.
And last there was love,
So warm and true;
A gift from God-
To me and you!

Good poem… but I personally would have called the poem “The Walk of Love” because love is really all you talk about in this poem. But anyways really great poem! It’s short but very meaningful! :D

This is a great poem. My boyfriend is going through some very tough personal problems and trying to get his life straight. He is now and learning that God does love him as well I as do. I have mailed this poem to(with credit given to the author, of course) to him to show him that he is not alone in his search for a better life. Thank you for being able to put into words the things I could not. Keep em coming
