Our Path

path chosen

we'll walk together

side by side

hand in hand

then arm in arm

seasons pave the way

gently, slowly at first

that season of young love, of firsts

of caution 

of exploration

i learn your touch, i know your hand, i hold on

path brightens

we walk with little ones

under foot

swinging between our hands

riding high on your strong shoulders

seasons 

so many seasons

colorful, vibrant

calm, stormy

those roller coaster seasons hurry by

i seek your touch, i treasure your hand, we hold on 

path diverges

we choose our way together

changed as we are

weathered

we choose together

we look ahead

blessings pave the way

and we beg the seasons to grow lazy

to be gentle and slow again

a pause for a flower

stillness

a breath, a moment

the cherishing

i need your touch, i hold your hand, we let go

Six Word Fridays ~ Wrap

"This will be a sign. You 

will find a baby wrapped in 

swaddling cloth, lying in a manger."

Luke 2:12

The wonder and simplicity of the 

nativity reminds me to wrap us

all up in the mushy stuff

that matters this Christmas. And always. 

If you have SIX WORDS to 

share, link up with us here! 

Today we're inspired by the word

WRAP.
