Paths

Paths
A path is an expression of a habit,
Evidence of a journey often made,
A habit made visible where others can follow.
Most of us think of a path made by footprints,
But there are paths in the mind, both good and bad.
They are made by repeated words and actions,
Some sharp as daggers, others kind and gentle.
We all leave paths in the minds and hearts
Of those who journey with us,
And it is up to us to see that our path
leads somewhere worth going. jfs
Ps 17:5 Uphold my steps in Your paths, That my footsteps may not slip.
