Christmas Poem

The Comforts of Home

I am going home.
It seems so far away.
I started down this path – was it only yesterday?

The road ahead is dark.
I cannot see the way.
If I’m still on the path, I cannot really say.

Then I look at where I’ve been
Through places dark and bright.
I’ve never been alone, even through the darkest night.

No matter what I face
How steep or rough the road
You’re always by my side to lift my heavy load.

You light my darkest night
And show me where to go
You give me strength and help, teach me all I need to know.

And so I travel on
Through places thick and thin
Knowing you will guide me beyond the mess I’m in.

When I reach home at last
And am welcomed through the door,
You’ll be waiting arms outstretched to show me even more.
