by Mark Weinrich

Some claim
this chosen way
a tight rope
of teetering fears,
too risky and joyless
for exploring
the world.

But what appears
too narrow
too confining
is a well-worn trail 
where faith-adventurers
travel with grateful steps.

For whether one
walks side by
side or follows,
the echo of His 
guiding steps, prove
we are never alone.

For nothing compares
to the breadth
and length of His love
to the distance
He’s traveled
to lead each 
of us home.
