A Personal Journey...

... Of Surviving the Wilderness

The Story ..

He expectantly waited,

darkness all around

He was anxious to go

and knew it would be soon

For upwards he looked

as a brightness shone by

And he marveled

at the light of the moon

He quickly ran down

the first path he found

Astounded by the world

he thought he could see

From the reflections from

a house on top of a hill

To the stars in the sky

behind the outline of a tree

Although he was impressed

by the ensuing sights

Something was missing,

still hidden in the night

His vision was too limited

for this world to be right

Where could he go

to find a much brighter light

Then out of the darkness

there appeared a soft glow

As he watched her come closer

she gave him a smile

Speaking softly she wondered,

"Where is your light?"

"I have none" he replied,

"Can we share for awhile?"

At first they struggled

to share the one light

For he would pass her,

then she would pass him

Together they learned

at what pace they should go

To keep the light bright

and not let it get dim

And together they reached

the house on the hill

"Come In" she said,

"For this place is now ours"

He opened the gate

and followed her through

There were leaves on the trees

all covered with flowers

A Child came running

and leaped into his arms

"I love you" she declared,

"Now, you're no longer alone"

Then a dazzling light

burst from his soul

Gone was the darkness and

the house was a home

He reached for the lady

taking her hand

"What a wonderful thing

you have done

For I used to marvel

at the light of the moon

And now

you have shown me the sun"

For I Have Seen the Sun

When we first achieve our initial freedom - from school, our parents - we tend to charge into the outside world to discover what we have been missing.

For awhile we are enthralled by the new things we encounter but eventually we realize something is missing - love.

During the ‘meeting and getting to know you’ stages of a courtship and marriage your surroundings will seem brighter, more musical, joyous and even confusing.

But when your child is born a whole new world will spring into existence. Your heart will feel things you never felt possible and you will see the true beauty of this world.
