OUR JOURNEY

You came into my life short time ago
although it seems forever, forever I have known you.
We set off together upon our road
our road to recovery, of inner man and mind.
You walked beside me upon that rocky road
guided me around thorny bushes and granite stone
you followed bravely into the jungle within
never with a backward glance.
Once committed you gave your all
I thank you for your guiding arm
you see sometimes I was so blind
blinded, by my inner pain.
You would lead me to a rocky outcrop
and allow me to rest
rest my tortured mind and spirit
however, you would not allow me to wallow.
you would soon have me back on track
clipping back thorny hedges, peering within
I have so much to say about what you showed me there
I cannot do it justice with pen and paper
simply to say you were not frightened of my inner being
as some are, as I am too at times.
You explored that inner world of mine
with honesty, truth and compassion
and dare I say “insight.”
Sometimes I led you up blind alleys
and was confused and uncertain
how to return
but gently you would take me to pastures new.
Sometimes I was on a mission
I knew exactly where I wanted to go
you would follow, perhaps uncertain at first.
Our journey has certainly been an adventure
one I am honoured to say I have shared with you.

He sounds like a "keeper"! A gift to you from God!  :-*
