I have wandered many years,
Searching far and wide;
Certain there are others
Whose Creator is their Guide.
When I meet those kindred ones
That I can walk beside,
I feel a sense of gratitude
That the Creator is my Guide.
I have seen Dante's 'Inferno',
Thru many Hells I've been tried;
But the demons' work was futile,
Since the Creator was my Guide.
They tried to break my spirit,
Mistaking it for Pride;
My soul remained unscathed,
With the Creator as my Guide.
Many trials lie still ahead,
But thru them I will stride
With faith unshaken, knowing
The Creator is my Guide!!
