Light for All seasons
by
Erma J. Sybil
Winter solstice,
A time of revaluation,
Spiritual, mental. Emotional.
Summer shines forth,
Days pass as light walks with me.
One season emds, another begins.
Look back to love and memories.
But the step forward,
Will transend the one behind.
Security lies not in where I am,
Or what I am doing,
But who I am — and where I am going.
In the seasons of life,
I’m following a light
Which will never go out —
Jesus Christ — today, tomorrow,
In seasons forever!
