Faith

Hello once again, dear reader. Today is a historical day in the US, for it is the anniversary of Paul Revere's ride. This anniversary is the inspiration for our #NaPoWriMo prompt. We are to write a poem about an urgent journey with an important message. As I am wont to do, I loosely translate the prompt into something that works better for me. My poem today is about a journey, and I believe my poem itself contains the important message. I hope that my efforts today at writing fall acceptably within the prompt, and if it doesn't then I exercise my right to use creative license. Please enjoy.

Hoping to make this journey,

my biggest desire

is to have you

by my side.

For without your embrace,

your love,

your trust,

I cannot reach

my destination.

I can feel you

next to me,

your tears bathing

my shoulder

as my arms

surround you..

Our journey is one

that distance

cannot fathom,

for we are travelling

on the road

of faith.

Hills and valleys

stretch out

before us,

our hands are gripped

together,

helping each other

when the other

falls.

All along the path

we spread our message

of peace,

of hope,

of love.

Of Jesus.

Our voyage is earthly,

yet our destination

is eternal.
