I travel a lonely path

friends and loved ones

have forsaken me

for hardly anyone understands

the call.

Up before the dawn

of morning, and sometimes

all night,

to listen as He speaks to me

inspiring the pen to write

words of comfort and hope,

His love to others show.

For this lonely path I have

chosen to take.

Just to feel His warm embrace,

and the tranquility of His

presence, and to hear

the comfort of His Voice.

The lonely path I willingly

take, to be used as His

instrument,

to bring hope and joy

to others!

I am forever grateful for

the lonely path I have

taken.
