The Pathway

     I often find that when I can't sleep at night, it's because there's something I must do.  Sometimes I will pray, and sometimes for a specific person or a need.  Other times it has been because of a poem that needed to be written.  

    I didn't know why I couldn't sleep the Sunday night I wrote this.  But I began to pray, and as I prayed, this formed in my mind.  I posted it to Facebook, and my youth group leader asked me to share it with a congregation we would be ministering to the next Sunday.  I don't know what kind of an effect it had on them, or whether it meant anything at all, but I do know that it has been something I have looked back on.  

There's a Pathway, long and narrow;

A Kingdom at the end.

The road is hard and painful,

But God is our King and Friend.

Few are traveling this Pathway --

Few are brave enough to dare --

But the few who take this journey

Will e'er be with Him there.

The angels walk this Pathway;

And the Nazarene, so sweet.

He calls us to come to Him --

To be His hands and feet.

There are distractions near this Pathway;

The World ever calls,

But we, with faith so rooted,

Will walk the heav'nly halls.

There's a Pathway, long and narrow;

A Kingdom waits us, fair;

A Kingdom serene and peaceful --

Will you be with Him there?
