The Trail

           I see it now; it's over there,
        I'm coming soon with much to share.
        There's so much to see along the way,
        And at least one stone to collect each day.
        I can't pass by the treasures behold,
        For each stone has a lesson untold.
        Which ones Lord, are the right ones for me,
        So many are similar which ones will I need?
        Big ones, smooth ones, jagged and small,
        The Lord gives me strength to carry them all.
        Can't spend too much time choosing just one,
         or else I will find I have chosen none.
