Joy In The Sojourn

When

You gaze in quiet wonder at

A crescent moon hung wordlessly

In a cloudless sky-

When

You tickle tiny toes

With little green caterpillar feet

In the tall June grass-

When

You go to the store for bread

And come home

With ice cream sandwiches-

When

You summon angels from the horizon

To guide your weary steps

And bless your path

When

You shed silent silver tears

From the eyes of your heart

And hear reassurance with your inner ears-

When

You wait quietly before the dawn

With the mountains and the valleys

And glimpse the thin veil of Eternity-

REJOICE!

You have found Joy in the Sojourn!
