OBSERVING THE WAY

I sat with Daddy at the side of the road
watching  people of the Way passing by

Some seemed happy joyously roaming around
distracted by many a thing never reaching the end

Others with heavy loads on their shoulders
took one step forward one step backward drowning in a silent cry

I looked to see if someone would come to their aid
If maybe they could find help through the comfort of a friend
Yet no one seemed to care or dare
so they were left there all alone

To my surprise I finally saw a noble heart
A valiant knight with sword and all coming to the rescue

Making his way through the haze evil had aroused around the victim
yet along the way he fell asleep finding himself
by a delusional wind in an endless labyrinth blown

Two or three came along but did not bother themselves
with anything else but worldly immoral pleasures and riches
blinded by idolatry they remained in bondage lost in a transit trance

In sadness I held on to Daddies hand as tears fell from our eyes
wondering if any of them would make it to the finish line
on purpose or maybe by chance

As we held on to each other softly a sweet song arose
awakening the sun from its rest to light up the way

Faintly revealing little children walking hand in hand
little voices breaking the eerie silence
Singing the enchanting song of the Father’s Love

Waves of salvation touching all along the road
breaking bondages removing yokes
hearts from darkness into light swayed

Daddy and I jumped up and ran to the finish line
welcoming the little ones with all who were finally freed


The love of Christ founded in hearts humble and kind
had sown the seed of Christ’s victorious Noble Deed

Overwhelmed with Joy inexpressible
God’s heavenly party gloriously ignited
as little ones crowned with glory
for all eternity never from His loving side parted


Blessings and love in Christ,
Monique
