A Light To My Path

by B-Miles Jackson

Light is sown for the righteous in heart,
Let the sadness of the day come before you,
According to the greatness of your power,
Preserve those who are appointed to die,
As you gather them to yourself,
May his Word light the way,
Comfort you as you are,
And be your guide,
When you move forward.
The path of the just is like the sun,
That fades into the sun set,
At the end of the day.

ABOUT THE POET ~
Barbara B-Miles Jackson, born in 1948, grew up in Texas, studied poetry as a student in school. The poetry of other poets inspired me to go forward, changing myself when I could not change my situation. I one child and two grandchildren., Later needing a way of expression and focus, I turned to writing poems. Writing reminds me, we must travel through life situations with as much grace and dignity as possible., I started writing in 1995 for an Open Poetry Contest with National and International Library of Poetry. Most In the US and other in Europe.
