Shadows of a Soul

 

We see small glimpses into the shadow of a soul    

Weathered eyes betraying that hardships took their toll   

 

Every time worn crease contours a wrinkled brow   

With furrows of the past a reflection they endow    

 

A man who counts his blessings has softness in these lines  

Maturing in the good life like aged and vintage wines  

 

An expression of character shows within the face     

Gentle in adversity or harshness in its place             

 

Life creates the crossroads that every man must choose

These fleeting paths of juncture crisscrossing as they fuse  

 

The light is in the future our hope is in the now      

We call upon the savior on knees and takes a vow  

 

This day

We pray
